Premier Family Dental offers same-day emergency dental service in Gilbert, AZ for patients who need urgent care. If you are in pain right now, call us at (480) 279-5611 — do not wait.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Not every tooth problem needs an emergency visit, but some situations cannot wait. Contact us immediately if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Severe toothache that does not go away after a few hours
• A tooth that has been knocked out or broken
• Swelling in your jaw, gums, or face
• A lost crown or filling that is causing pain
• A dental abscess — a bump or pimple on your gum that may have pus
• Bleeding from the mouth that will not stop
• Tooth pain accompanied by fever or difficulty swallowing

If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us at (480) 279-5611 and we will help you decide.

Signs You Need an Emergency Dentist Today

Some tooth problems can wait until your next scheduled appointment. Others need to be seen the same day. Here is a simple way to decide:

It can probably wait if: the tooth is mildly sensitive, you have a small chip with no pain, or a filling fell out but the tooth is not hurting.

Call us today if: your face or jaw is swollen, you have a fever, you cannot close your mouth, a tooth was knocked out, or you are in severe unrelenting pain.

When in doubt, call. We would always rather hear from you and reassure you than have you wait through a worsening situation.

What to Do Before You Arrive
