Emergency Dentistry Provides Peace of Mind for Patients in Urgent Need of Dental Care
Despite your near-perfect dental care, unexpected situations can arise, catching you off-guard and leaving you needing urgent dental care.

Dr. Don Mungcal have the expertise and compassion to deliver swift and effective emergency dental services when seconds truly matter.
When to visit an emergency dentist
Not all dental situations require same-day dental appointments. Most minor dental issues can wait a few days for a scheduled appointment. However, when the below dental woes strike, you or your loved ones must seek emergency dental care to preserve your oral health.
- Restorative emergencies: Accidents occur when you least expect them. In the unfortunate event you have a cracked or knocked-out tooth, seeking immediate dental care can be the difference between saving and losing your tooth
- Dental abscess: Tooth abscess occurs when pus develops underneath the tooth. A dental abscess is painful and can lead to life-threatening complications if left untreated. An emergency dentist drains the pus and administers other restorative treatments to address the infection
- Loose or lost restorations: Do you have a loose dental filling? Has your crown fallen off? Compromised dental work creates fault lines that can cause bad bacteria to infiltrate your tooth. Replacing your lost or loose restoration eliminates pain and minimizes the chances of tooth infection
- Severe oral pain: Do you have a toothache that doesn’t seem to go away? Sudden, excruciating tooth pain could indicate dental infection or other serious conditions. Please visit an emergency dentist for prompt diagnosis and treatment
When you reach our office, we’ll first examine your situation to determine the best treatment. Depending on your dental emergency, we can use dental crowns, fillings, and root canals to restore your oral health.
Benefits of emergency dental care
Following are the benefits of visiting an emergency dentist:
- Resolves tooth pain quickly and effectively
- Saves you from costly restorative treatments
