Emergency Dentistry – The Importance of Immediate Attention

Dental emergencies can happen to anyone, at any time, without warning. A sudden toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, or a painful jaw can be extremely discomforting, and require immediate attention. That’s why having access to emergency dental services is crucial.

At our dental practice, we understand the importance of providing prompt and effective treatment in the case of a dental emergency. Our team of highly skilled and experienced dentists is available to assist you, no matter what time it is, and provide you with the necessary care to alleviate your pain and prevent further complications.

What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency can be any situation that requires immediate attention from a dental professional. Some common examples of dental emergencies include:

  • Severe toothache
  • Knocked-out tooth
  • Chipped or broken tooth
  • Lost filling or crown
  • Abscess or infection
  • Soft tissue injury (e.g. bitten tongue or lip)

It’s important to seek emergency dental care in the case of any of the above, or any other condition that is causing you pain or discomfort. Ignoring a dental emergency can lead to further damage and potentially, the loss of a tooth.

Everyone is very nice. My hygienist, Katie, did a great job cleaning my teeth. She also did a periodontal check. I love that the office bills my insurance instead of me paying and then sending it in for reimbursement.

As a child I had more cavities than teeth. Then permanent teeth grew in 100% crooked ... so I've spent hours, weeks in dental chairs during my lifespan... including visits at San Fransico Dental School. Therefore I feel I'm an expert judge of dental skill, expertise etc. The staff at Watson Dental check all the TOP rated boxes for all aspects of a top notch dental office. They are also very "pain conscious" which lowers the anxiety levels.

We took our three-year old son to Watson Dental for his first dental visit and had such an outstanding experience from the welcoming staff at the front desk to the happy smiles from everyone especially my son on the goodbye. The team was so amazing working with children and helping him understand what they would do on this visit. They got X-rays, a teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment on his visit! We were so impressed! Dr. Geiger was his dentist and she was so great with him as was her assistant who spent a lot of time with him prepping and cleaning. We can't wait for his next visit and neither can he! This experience will create a lifelong positive experience of the dentist and we are so grateful for everyone at the office who made this visit so great! I've also had my teeth cleaned here with Dr. Sonn and his team and had just as great of an experience. I thought it was important to highlight how great they are with the kiddos though as they're making lifelong positive memories of the dentist! Thank you!

Today was my first visit with Watson Dental Associates, and given that this was a dental emergency, I am more than impressed and satisfied. Dr. Sonn and his staff were amazing. I was in a lot of pain and have suffered some trauma from previous work, and Dr. Sonn was very careful, thoughtful, and reassuring. The procedure was pain-free, and they took their time to make sure I felt safe. I am glad I made the choice to come to Watson Dental Associates.
