Emergency Dental Guidance
Short, plain-language guides to help you handle common dental emergencies before you reach the office. We're building a video library — for now, these are written guides you can read anytime.
Real video guides featuring Dr. Chi will replace these written guides once they are recorded and approved. No placeholder videos are shown.
Toothache
A toothache can range from a dull ache to sharp, throbbing pain. It often points to decay, a crack, a loose filling, or an infection. Prompt care can relieve the pain and help protect the tooth.
Read the guideChipped or Broken Tooth
Teeth can chip or break from a fall, a sports injury, biting something hard, or untreated decay. Even a small chip can affect the nerve or leave the tooth open to infection, so it is worth having it looked at promptly.
Read the guideLost Filling or Crown
A filling or crown can come loose from wear, new decay, or biting something sticky. The exposed tooth can be sensitive and vulnerable to further damage, so it is best to protect it quickly.

Swelling in the gums, jaw, or face can be a sign of a dental infection such as an abscess. Infections can worsen quickly, so prompt care is important for your health and comfort.
