Severe tooth pain, facial or gum swelling, dental trauma, a broken or knocked-out tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of infection may require urgent dental evaluation. When in doubt, call AV Dental so our team can help determine how quickly you should be seen.
Do you accept same-day or walk-in dental emergencies?
Yes. AV Dental offers same-day emergency dental care for urgent dental problems when availability allows.

What should I do if a permanent tooth is knocked out?
A knocked-out permanent tooth requires immediate dental attention. Handle the tooth only by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, gently rinse it without scrubbing. If possible, carefullyreposition the tooth in its socket. If you cannot reposition it, keep it moist in milk and contact a
dentist immediately. Prompt treatment can improve the chances of saving the tooth.

The total cost of an emergency visit depends on the clinical examination, diagnostic X-
rays required, and the immediate treatment provided to relieve pain or stabilize the
tooth. We do not publish fixed emergency rates because every situation is unique;
however, our team will fully review all costs, payment options, and applicable insurance
coverage before performing any treatment.

Prompt treatment significantly improves the chance of saving the tooth.
Do you offer sedation for anxious patients?
Yes. Depending on your medical history, anxiety level, and planned procedure, different sedation options may be available. During your consultation we will discuss the safest and most appropriate approach to help you remain comfortable throughout treatment.
