What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

If you’re in pain or something doesn’t feel right, it’s always best to call. Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe or persistent tooth pain
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Knocked-out teeth
• Swelling or infection
• Lost fillings or crowns
• Trauma from sports or accidents

Many of these conditions require immediate attention to prevent further damage or more complex treatment later.

Same-Day Emergency Appointments

We prioritize emergency patients and offer same-day care whenever possible.

With early morning availability starting at 7:00 AM, we help patients get relief quickly—especially those balancing work, school, or travel from surrounding areas.

When you call, our team will:

• Assess your symptoms
• Provide immediate guidance
• Schedule you as soon as possible

At Loyalsock Dental, we use Solea® laser dentistry to make many emergency treatments faster and more comfortable.

Solea allows for:

• No needles in many procedures
• No drilling in certain cases
• Minimal or no numbness

This is especially valuable for patients with dental anxiety or those needing quick, efficient care.

Traumatic Injury & Tooth Repair

Dental injuries require both immediate care and long-term planning. Dr. Kim takes a comprehensive approach to restore both function and appearance.

Chipped & Cracked Tooth Repair

Even small fractures can worsen over time if left untreated. We provide precise repair options, including:

• Bonding for minor chips
• Reinforcement to prevent further damage
• Full restoration when needed

For more advanced cases, we may recommend chipped & cracked tooth repair or protective solutions like dental crowns.

Knocked-Out or Broken Teeth

Time is critical. If a tooth is knocked out, call immediately. Prompt care increases the chance of saving the tooth.

A Functional Approach to Emergency Care

At Loyalsock Dental, we don’t just treat the immediate issue—we identify the cause.

Dr. Kim’s training with Spear Education and the Pankey Institute allows her to evaluate:

• Bite alignment (occlusion)
• Uneven pressure that may have caused fractures
• Underlying structural concerns

This helps prevent repeat emergencies and supports long-term oral health.

Calm, Supportive Care—Even in Urgent Situations

We understand that dental emergencies can be stressful. Our team is trained to keep you comfortable and informed every step of the way.

We offer:

• A calm, reassuring environment
• Clear explanations and next steps
• Options like oral conscious sedation for anxious patients
