What Counts as a Dental Emergency

If you are unsure whether what you are experiencing needs urgent attention, it is always worth a quick phone call. Some of the most common reasons patients reach out to us for same-day care include:

• Severe tooth pain that will not go away
• A knocked-out tooth
• A broken or cracked tooth
• A lost filling or crown
• An abscess, infection, or swelling
• Dental injuries from sports or a fall

What to Do Before You Reach Our Office

Call us first at (843) 681-9666 . Describing what happened helps us prepare the room and the right team before you arrive. A few simple first-aid steps can also make a real difference while you are on your way in.

For tooth pain or a cut inside the mouth, rinse gently with warm water. If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown and not the root, rinse it briefly, and place it in a small container of milk to keep the root tissue healthy. For swelling or a bumped lip, a cold compress on the outside of your cheek can help until you get here.

During office hours, give us a call and we will do our best to see you as soon as possible. After hours, our phone line has instructions on how to reach the on-call team. You can find us at 92b Main St, Hilton Head Island, SC 29926-1684 - a short drive from anywhere on the island or Bluffton. Do not wait it out. Call and let us help.
