Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Toothache
A toothache that won't go away usually points to something deeper, like infection or decay. We'll find the cause and treat it before it gets worse.
Knocked-Out Tooth
If a tooth is knocked out, call us right away. Depending on how long it's been out of the socket, we may be able to save it.
Loosened or Moved Teeth
If a tooth is still in place but has shifted or loosened, visit us as soon as possible. Prompt treatment gives us the best chance to stabilize and save it.
Chipped or Fractured Tooth
Chipped and fractured teeth are among the most common emergencies we see. Early treatment helps prevent further damage, so don't wait to schedule your appointment.
Gum Injuries
Gum pain and swelling can result from a sudden injury or an ongoing condition like gum disease. Schedule an appointment so we can assess the injury and plan next steps.
Foreign Objects
If you have a foreign object caught between your teeth or under the gumline, visit our office. We'll remove it to ease your pain and reduce the risk of infection.
Severe Jaw & TMJ Pain
Sudden or severe jaw pain, clicking, or difficulty opening your mouth can point to a TMJ problem. We'll evaluate the cause and recommend treatment to help relieve your pain.
Broken Crowns
If a crown cracks, loosens, or falls off, the tooth underneath can be left exposed and cause sensitivity. We'll protect it and get your crown repaired or replaced at the same visit when possible.
Broken or Damaged Dental Work
Fillings, bridges, dentures, and other dental work can wear down or break unexpectedly. We'll repair or replace the damaged piece so you can get back to eating and speaking comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any problem that requires prompt attention to relieve significant pain, address an infection, stop bleeding, or prevent further damage. This can include severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, dental infections, damaged dental work, and sudden or severe jaw pain.
Do I Need to Be a Current Patient to Be Seen for a Dental Emergency?
No. You don’t need to be an existing patient to contact SRQ Smiles for a dental emergency. We welcome new patients and will do our best to get you seen as quickly as possible.
Do You Offer Same-Day Appointments?
Yes. We offer same-day emergency appointments when availability allows. Because emergency visits focus specifically on the problem you’re experiencing, we can often get you in quickly for an evaluation and treatment. Call our office as soon as possible so we can find the earliest available appointment.
Do You Have After-Hours Emergency Appointments?
SRQ Smiles doesn’t offer regular after-hours appointments, but we do our best to accommodate dental emergencies during our normal office hours. If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, call our office as soon as possible and we’ll work to get you seen quickly.
Should I Go to the Dentist or Emergency Room for a Dental Emergency?
Most toothaches, broken teeth, lost restorations, and other dental problems are best evaluated by a dentist. However, severe facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or difficulty breathing are medical emergencies and require immediate attention at an ER.
“I called them this morning at the last minute, due to a pain in my mouth, and they squeezed me in within an hour of me calling. They took care of the problem. The pain is gone. I cannot say enough about Dr. Bowles’ practice and his entire staff. A1 service all the time.”
