Understanding emergency care
Dental emergencies do not wait for a convenient time. A cracked tooth, a lost filling, sudden swelling or a knocked-out tooth all get worse the longer they are left. Call us as early as you can — with a knocked-out tooth in particular, the first hour matters enormously.
Who this is for
- Severe or throbbing toothache
- A knocked-out or loosened tooth after an accident
- Cracked or broken tooth, or a lost crown or filling
- Facial swelling, abscess, or bleeding that will not stop
What to expect

- 1 urgent + follow-up
- Time per appointment
- 30–60 min urgent visit
A knocked-out permanent tooth has the best chance of being saved within the first hour.
What it does for you.
Same-day appointments reserved for emergencies where possible
Pain relief first, definitive treatment second
Clear costs explained before treatment begins
New patients welcome — you do not need to be established with us
Step by step, so nothing is a surprise.
Most dental anxiety comes from not knowing what happens next. Here is the whole sequence, from the first phone call onwards.
- 01
Call immediately
Ring (405) 632-5562 and describe what happened. The front desk will triage and advise what to do in the meantime.
- 02
Come in
We examine, image and identify the cause. The first priority is getting you out of pain.
- 03
Stabilise
Temporary restoration, drainage, or medication as needed so you can sleep tonight.
- 04
Definitive repair
Once the emergency is under control we plan the permanent fix and explain what it will cost.
“Cracked a molar on a Saturday. They got me in first thing Monday and it did not cost anything close to what I feared.”
Emergency Care questions we hear every week
Still unsure about something? Ring the front desk on (405) 632-5562 — no appointment needed to ask a question.
Severe pain, a knocked-out tooth, a fractured tooth with exposed nerve, swelling of the face or jaw, or uncontrolled bleeding. If you are unsure, call us and describe it.
Pick it up by the crown, never the root. Rinse gently with milk or saline, do not scrub. Place it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk, and get to us immediately.
Yes. Emergency patients do not need to be established with the practice.
It depends on the treatment needed. We tell you the cost before we begin — you will not be surprised by the bill afterwards.
Go to the ER for uncontrolled bleeding, trauma to the jaw, or swelling affecting your breathing or swallowing. For tooth pain and dental damage, a dental office is faster and far better equipped.
