Emergency Dental Exams

Prompt Relief. Expert Assessment. Peace of Mind.

Dental emergencies can happen at any time—and when they do, fast action and professional care make all the difference. Whether you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or sudden trauma, an emergency dental exam can help determine the cause, relieve discomfort, and guide the next steps.

At Seaside Smiles, we understand how stressful dental pain can be. That’s why we prioritize same-day or next-day appointments whenever possible and work closely with local dentists to ensure you get the treatment you need, without delay.

What Is an Emergency Dental Exam?

An emergency dental exam is a focused, problem-specific appointment designed to assess urgent oral health issues. The goal is to identify the source of the problem, ease your discomfort, and make an immediate plan for treatment or referral.

During your visit, we will:

Review your symptoms and medical history

Perform a visual inspection of the affected area

Take necessary X-rays (if available) or refer you for imaging

Provide guidance on managing pain, swelling, or infection

Coordinate with a dentist or specialist if further treatment is needed

Your comfort and safety come first. We’ll clearly explain your situation and walk you through your options.

When to Seek an Emergency Dental Exam

You should contact us right away if you’re experiencing:

Toothache or sharp pain that doesn’t go away

Swelling in the face, gums, or jaw

Broken or chipped tooth

Knocked-out tooth (time is critical—call immediately)

Bleeding in the mouth that won’t stop

Signs of infection, such as pus, fever, or bad taste

Lost fillings, crowns, or restorations causing sensitivity or discomfort

If you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, give us a call—we’re happy to guide you.

Your Care, Your Support Team

While some dental emergencies require immediate intervention from a dentist or oral surgeon, Seaside Smiles is here to help you take that first step. We provide quick assessments, hygiene support, and compassionate care while coordinating closely with dental professionals to ensure a seamless next step.
