Urgent Care
There are a number of inconvenient dental related incidents that occur (broken tooth, hypersensitivity, crown falling off, detection of suspicious lesion in mouth etc.). At NSDC we will perform a specific examination and radiograph for all patients that arrive at our office. However, due to the patient flow of this office, we may not be able to provide definitive non-emergency treatment on the same day. There are by-appointment times for these dental issues that can be treated at a later date.
Non-urgent Dental Emergency
For the following dental problems, you may consult with your dentist during regular business hours instead of going to the emergency room. However, dental consultation is still critical.
Dull toothache
Slightly chipped tooth or a small crack in the tooth
Cracked or broken tooth without severe pain and sensitivity
A lost dental filling, bridge, or crown w/o pain
Food stuck between teeth
When you visit us, the purpose of your emergency visit will be to relieve the discomfort, diagnose the problem and advise you of your options for resolving it.
When you visit us we may:
Take x-rays, check the condition of your teeth, smooth off sharp edges, prescribe medication, refer you to a specialist
