In moments of dental distress, Smilefolk provides swift and compassionate care to alleviate pain and address your urgent dental needs.
Emergency
Dentistry
The two most important things to do in a dental emergency are to stay calm and see a dentist right away. The sooner you get treatment for urgent issues, the better. If you wait too long, you can risk losing your tooth or causing even more damage to your smile. If your tooth has been knocked out, keep it in your mouth between your cheek and gums until you come in for your same-day appointment. If this isn’t possible, you can also keep the tooth moist by placing it in a cold cup of milk. This will help preserve the pulp and make it easier to save your tooth.
What To Do In An Emergency
BE PREPARED
Identifying a dental emergency is simple: If you are in pain and can’t treat the issue yourself, this qualifies as an urgent dental health issue. These situations include a knocked-out tooth, excessive bleeding, extreme tooth sensitivity, or persistent pain. If an old filling or crown has fallen out or become loose, this also qualifies as a dental emergency.
During an All-On-4 procedure, a minimal number of implants are surgically placed into your jawbone to mimic tooth roots and your custom replacement teeth are attached to create a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

"Dr Lee is amazing. Kind and welcoming and always puts the patients comfort above her needs. Highly recommend!"
kind words
Dr. Lee will always try to repair your damaged tooth with a restorative treatment option if possible. However, if it's severely damaged by decay or injury, she may suggest an extraction. This treatment is completely painless with anesthetic. And once your tooth is removed, we can offer replacement options that will look and feel natural.

REMOVE PAINFUL, PROBLEMATIC TEETH
If the pulp of your tooth has been damaged or infected, Dr. Lee may suggest a root canal. Though many people think this treatment is painful, it’s not! Root canal therapy actually gets patients out of pain when they are suffering from an infected tooth or severe damage and decay.
