Dental emergencies do not wait for a convenient time, so Dr. Wong keeps openings for urgent cases and makes every effort to see you the same day when you are dealing with severe pain, an infection, or dental trauma. Your urgent needs come first over routine appointments when you are hurting.
Dr. Wong's experience with emergency cases and our advanced diagnostic tools support rapid, accurate identification of your problem. You'll understand exactly what's wrong and what needs to be done to resolve your emergency, allowing you to make informed decisions about your urgent care.
We do not just provide a temporary fix. Dr. Wong addresses both immediate pain relief and the underlying cause during your visit, so your treatment supports your ongoing preventive dental care instead of becoming a repeat problem.
When you call about a dental emergency, Dr. Wong’s team gathers a few details about your symptoms and offers the next available urgent opening so you are not left waiting in pain. The American Dental Association notes that a knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved when it stays moist and you reach a dentist quickly, which is part of why Dr. Wong builds room into the schedule for same-day emergency visits.
As a private practice, Cedar Smiles Dental has the flexibility to give emergency patients real time and attention, without the quotas or rushed visits of a larger corporate office. You can count on thorough, compassionate care focused on immediate relief and a long-term plan, not just a quick fix. Read what our patients say on our reviews page.
What you do in the first few minutes can affect how a dental emergency is treated. For a knocked-out tooth, handle it only by the crown, rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it or keep it moist in milk or saliva until you reach our office. The National Library of Medicine’s MedlinePlus guide to tooth injuries outlines similar first aid steps for a knocked-out or displaced tooth. For a toothache, rinse with warm salt water and use a cold compress to manage swelling while you wait for your appointment.
If you are dealing with a broken jaw, uncontrolled bleeding, or trouble breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away, since most hospital emergency rooms do not have a dentist on staff to treat the underlying dental problem. For most other dental emergencies, calling Cedar Smiles Dental first is often the faster path to real relief. We accept most dental insurance plans and offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry, along with an in-office membership plan, so cost does not have to delay the care you need.
