Emergency Dentistry Q&A

Emergency dentistry provides urgent treatment for oral health issues that require immediate attention. Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or a broken restoration, timely care can prevent complications and help save your smile.

At Nova Dental , we offer same-day emergency appointments so you can get relief and restore your oral health - fast.

We provide emergency dental care for a variety of urgent situations, including:

  • Knocked-out or loose teeth

  • Chipped or cracked teeth

  • Severe toothaches or sudden dental pain

  • Gum infections or abscesses

  • Persistent oral bleeding

  • Broken crowns, bridges, or fillings

  • Damaged clear aligners or other appliances

Injuries from accidents, sports, or falls

Severe Toothache
Rinse with warm salt water, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, and avoid chewing on the affected side. If pain persists for more than 24 hours, contact us immediately.

Knocked-Out Tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently and attempt to place it back in its socket. If not possible, keep it in milk or inside your cheek and call us right away.

Broken Restoration
Collect any broken pieces and store them safely. Call our office for a same-day appointment to repair or replace your dental work.
  • Practice good oral hygiene (brushing & flossing daily)

  • Visit us regularly for checkups and cleanings

  • Wear a mouthguard during sports or physical activity

  • Avoid chewing on ice, hard candy, or non-food objects

  • Don’t use your teeth to open packaging or bottles

Simple habits like these go a long way in keeping your smile protected.
