What to Do If You Have a Dental Emergency in Tucson

The pain comes on fast, when you least expect it. 

Maybe it hurt on and off for a while, but this is different. This pain is sharp, unrelenting, and it’s keeping you up at night.

Whether you’ve been putting off care or this came out of nowhere, one thing’s clear: you need relief, and you need it fast.

If you don’t have a regular dentist, you’re not alone. Nearly half of the adults in Tucson don’t. That’s why so many people end up searching for “emergency dentist near me” at the worst possible moment.

That’s where we come in.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Every emergency is different. But here are the most common issues we help patients with:

  • Severe toothaches: Pain that lingers or keeps you up at night needs attention now. 
  • Dental abscesses (swelling, pus, pain): Swelling, pus, or fever can indicate a serious infection that should be treated as soon as possible.
  • Knocked-out adult teeth: Don’t clean the tooth. Try to gently place it back in the socket (or store in cold milk) and call us immediately.
  • Lost crowns or fillings: Sometimes it’s simple to fix. Sometimes it’s a warning sign of a deeper issue. Don’t wait for pain—let us take a look.
  • Broken orthodontic appliances: Can’t reach your orthodontist? We’ll help get you through until you can.
  • Post-extraction pain or complications: Just had a tooth removed and worried about bleeding or pain? We’ll take a look and make sure you’re healing properly.

Not sure if something’s urgent? We’ll guide you through what to do next.
