What Is
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dentistry focuses on providing immediate treatment for urgent dental problems such as pain, infection, or injury. Common emergencies include toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, abscesses, lost fillings, or damaged crowns.
Prompt care not only alleviates discomfort but also prevents complications and helps save your natural teeth. At Goldwater Dental, our team is trained to quickly diagnose the issue, relieve pain, and restore your smile with gentle, effective treatment.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING?
Emergency Dentistry?
When you visit Dr. Brandon Goldwater, DMD for a dental emergency, our first priority is your comfort. We act quickly to relieve pain, stabilize the situation, and begin restoring your oral health.
Diagnosis and Pain Relief
Your dentist will perform a thorough exam and take digital X-rays if needed to determine the source of pain or damage. Local anesthesia or other pain-relief methods are used to ensure your comfort right away.
Immediate Treatment
Many dental emergencies can be resolved in one visit, including fillings, crown repairs, or treating infections. If advanced care is needed, Dr. Goldwater will explain your options and coordinate treatment with trusted specialists.
Follow-Up and Long-Term Care
Once your immediate concern is addressed, we’ll create a personalized plan to fully restore your smile and prevent future issues. This may involve a follow-up appointment for permanent restorations or additional preventive care.
At Goldwater Dental, we know dental emergencies can be painful and stressful. That’s why we make every effort to see emergency patients the same day and provide immediate, compassionate care.
Our team treats each case with urgency, empathy, and expertise — without judgment or pressure. We use advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive techniques to relieve pain efficiently while protecting your long-term oral health.

Emergency Dentistry
Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, swelling, bleeding, broken or knocked-out teeth, and lost restorations (like crowns or fillings) are all considered dental emergencies requiring prompt attention.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), keep it moist in milk or a damp cloth, and see your dentist immediately — ideally within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving it.
Can I be seen the same day for an emergency?
Yes. We reserve time in our schedule for emergency visits and will do our best to see you the same day you call.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
Maintain regular checkups, wear a mouthguard during sports, avoid chewing hard objects like ice or pens, and address dental discomfort early before it worsens.
