Dental emergencies happen. You’re chewing something, hear a crack and you know that you didn’t just chew hard food — your tooth broke. Perhaps you woke up one morning to a toothache that doesn’t go away in a few days. Maybe a crown or loose filling falls off. That’s when you need an emergency dentist. The good news is we are accepting new patients at our Cincinnati office, even for dental emergencies, even if we’ve never seen you before. And we can likely get you in fairly quickly. We tend to keep a few appointments open in our schedule for just such emergencies. If you face a sudden dental issue, the first step is to call us, so we can get you in. Describe the issue. We may be able to recommend ways to deal with the problem immediately at home or ways to help manage any pain. Taking over the counter pain medication can help with any pain issues until we can see you for a full diagnosis.
