Severe toothache
Sharp, throbbing, or constant tooth pain can make it hard to eat, sleep, or focus. It may point to deep decay, an infection, or irritation inside the tooth.
- 01
Rinse gently with warm salt water.
- 02
Floss around the tooth to remove anything trapped.
- 03
Hold a cold pack against your cheek for 20 minutes at a time.
- 04
If safe for you, use an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Never place aspirin directly on your gums.
We’ll examine the tooth and use digital x-rays when needed to find the source of your pain. Treatment may include a filling, root canal, or extraction depending on what’s causing it, with the goal of relieving your pain and protecting your oral health.
Knocked-out tooth
An adult tooth has been completely knocked out of its socket after a fall, hit, or other injury. Acting quickly can improve the chance of saving the tooth.
- 01
Pick up the tooth by the crown, not the root.
- 02
If it is dirty, gently rinse it with water. Do not scrub it.
- 03
If possible, place it back in the socket without forcing it.
- 04
If you cannot replace it, keep it moist in milk and call us immediately.
Time matters with a knocked-out tooth. We’ll examine the area and determine whether the tooth can be repositioned and stabilized. If it cannot be saved, we’ll discuss your options for replacing it and restoring your smile.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A tooth may feel sharp, sensitive, painful when you bite, or look visibly chipped or broken. Even a crack that seems small can extend deeper than you can see.
- 01
Rinse your mouth gently with warm water.
- 02
Save any broken pieces of the tooth if you can find them.
- 03
Use a cold pack on your cheek if there is swelling.
- 04
Avoid chewing on that side until we can examine the tooth.
We’ll check how far the damage extends and whether the nerve is involved. Depending on the tooth, treatment may include bonding, a filling, crown, root canal, or another restorative option.
Swelling or Abscess
Swelling, a tender bump on the gums, persistent tooth pain, or a bad taste in your mouth can be signs of a dental infection that should not be ignored.
- 01
Rinse gently with warm salt water.
- 02
Use a cold pack against your cheek to help with swelling.
- 03
Do not squeeze, pop, or drain the swollen area yourself.
- 04
Call us promptly. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care.
We’ll locate the source of the infection and determine how far it has spread. Treatment may involve draining the infection, root canal therapy, extraction, or other care based on what we find.
Lost Filling or Crown
A filling or crown can loosen or come out while eating, leaving the tooth exposed or sensitive. Even without pain, the tooth underneath can be vulnerable to further damage.
- 01
Rinse your mouth gently and keep the area clean.
- 02
If a crown came off, save it and bring it with you.
- 03
Avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on that side.
- 04
Do not use household glue to put a crown back in place.
We’ll examine the exposed tooth and check for decay or damage. When possible, we may be able to reattach the crown. Otherwise, we’ll repair or replace the restoration to protect the tooth again.
Cut Lip, Gum, or Tongue
A bite, fall, or injury can cause bleeding from the lips, gums, tongue, or other soft tissue inside your mouth. Many minor cuts heal well once the bleeding is controlled.
- 01
Rinse gently with clean water to see where the injury is.
- 02
Apply firm pressure with clean gauze to control bleeding.
- 03
Use a cold pack outside the mouth to help with swelling.
- 04
If bleeding will not stop with pressure or the injury is severe, seek emergency medical care.
Once urgent medical concerns are ruled out, we can check your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues for dental damage caused by the injury and treat anything that needs attention.

Comfortable Visits, Honest Reviews
I had been going to the same dentist for almost 20 years, but got tired of driving 45 minutes away, so took a leap of faith and changed to a much closer dentist office. Very happy I took the leap as it was one of the better dental experiences I’ve had ever!
The doctor is super friendly and very low stress. After being used to the cliche dentist offices and experiences my whole life, this was a breath of fresh air. Not one to usually going to rave about a dentist, but felt like they deserved a good review.
Tai D.
One of the best experiences I have ever had. My last dentist scarred me and caused me to avoid going at all costs. Finding ComfyDent was pure luck and I am extremely satisfied. Being able to go to a place that not only makes me feel welcome and heard is incredible.
Every woman I encountered today was full of personality and care. I would recommend this place to anyone, and especially if you have any feelings of anxiety. They really try to make you feel at ease!
Morgan W.
If you are someone who hesitates to even open your mouth for a dentist to examine you, I completely get it because that was exactly me just two months ago. I used to let dental anxiety completely control me, but finding this office has honestly been a life-changing experience. They managed to turn all of my fear into genuine hope. For the first time, I felt heard and respected in a dental chair. If you’ve been putting off a visit out of fear, take it from someone who used to be terrified: this place will completely change your perspective and give you your confidence back!
Cyndie W.
It was my first time at ComfyDent Smiles and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff went out of their way to make me feel completely comfortable and at ease. The doctor was incredibly friendly and had a very low-stress, patient approach, which totally calmed my nerves. After being used to the usual stiff, clinical dental offices my whole life, this place was a total breath of fresh air. I’m not usually one to leave rave reviews for a dentist, but they truly deserved it!
Sara A.
Having lived and traveled all over, I’ve been to dentists in Germany, Greece, Italy, and the US but I can confidently say that ComfyDent Smiles easily tops my list. The level of care here is truly world-class. On top of the amazing clinical care, I also really appreciate their incredible flexibility when it comes to planning or moving appointments around a busy schedule. They genuinely value your time and make the whole process completely stress-free. Well done, ComfyDent team—you’ve set a whole new standard for dental visits!
Nick T.
What a great dental experience! The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming. I felt at ease instantly. Honestly, the thing that made me see they really paid attention to detail was when they offered to put lip balm on me. That tiny little detail made the visit so much more comfortable. It was just about the comfort level but it was also the best dental cleaning I have ever had. I truly felt my teeth were cleaner than with any other I had ever experienced. They do an excellent job of living up to their name. It was a very comfortable experience!

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I see an emergency dentist?
How quickly we can see you depends on what is happening and the care you may need. For an urgent dental problem, our team first needs to understand your symptoms so we can determine how soon we may be able to help.
My tooth got knocked out. What do I do right now?
Act quickly. Handle the tooth by its crown, not the root, and gently rinse it if dirty. Keep it moist in milk or tucked inside your cheek if safe, and seek urgent dental care. A knocked-out tooth may be more likely to be saved with prompt care. Seek emergency medical attention for serious injuries or trouble breathing.
My toothache went away on its own. Do I still need to see a dentist?
Yes, have the tooth evaluated even if the pain has stopped. Decay, infection, or damage can remain after symptoms improve. An exam is especially important if the pain was severe or persistent, or if you noticed swelling or other symptoms.
How do I manage tooth pain and swelling at home before my appointment?
Rinse gently with warm salt water, use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek, and keep your head elevated. Home care is temporary, not a substitute for an exam. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, or rapidly worsening facial swelling, needs immediate medical attention. Contact our team if symptoms worsen or you have concerns.
How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
The cost of an emergency dental visit depends on what we find during the evaluation and what treatment may be needed. Once our team understands your situation, we can provide more specific information about the care involved.
