Save our number — (434) 823-4080 — in your phone right now. When an urgent dental care situation strikes, calling us first could save you hours of pain and a trip to the emergency room.

Why Choose an Emergency Dentist Over the ER?

Hospital emergency rooms can manage bleeding and prescribe pain medication, but they are not equipped to perform the specialized dental procedures needed to actually fix the problem. A visit to the ER typically results in a temporary solution and a recommendation to follow up with a dentist afterward — meaning two appointments, two bills, and extended discomfort in between.

At Crozet Family Dental, we handle the entire situation in one place. Our team has the training, instruments, and materials to diagnose the issue, relieve your pain, and restore your tooth during the same visit whenever possible. You get faster relief, better outcomes, and a simpler experience overall.

Do not wait in pain. Crozet Family Dental provides urgent dental care to get you comfortable and protect your smile right away.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Our emergency dental team at Crozet Family Dental is prepared to handle a wide range of urgent situations, including:

• Severe toothache: Intense, throbbing pain that comes on suddenly often signals an infection deep inside the tooth. We can identify the source, provide immediate relief, and perform a root canal if needed to eliminate the infection and save the tooth.
• Broken or cracked tooth: A hard impact from a fall, car accident, or biting down on something unexpected can fracture a tooth. Depending on the severity, we may repair the damage with dental bonding, a crown, or a veneer — often in a single visit.
• Chipped tooth: Even a small chip can leave sharp edges that irritate your tongue and cheek. We use tooth-colored composite resin to reshape the tooth and restore its natural appearance quickly and comfortably.
• Knocked-out tooth: Time is critical when a tooth is completely dislodged. If treated within an hour, there is a strong chance of successfully replanting the tooth. Bring the tooth with you (stored in milk or saliva) and get to our Crozet, VA office as fast as you can.
• Lost filling or crown: A missing restoration exposes sensitive tooth structure to bacteria and temperature changes. We can place a new filling or re-cement a crown during an emergency appointment to protect the tooth from further damage.
• Dental abscess: A pus-filled pocket at the base of a tooth root is a sign of serious infection that can spread if left untreated. We drain the abscess, manage the infection, and create a plan to address the underlying cause.

What to Do If a Tooth Gets Knocked Out

Stay calm and act quickly. Pick up the tooth by the crown (the white part you see when you smile) — avoid touching the root. If the tooth is dirty, rinse it gently with water but do not scrub or remove any tissue fragments. Try to place it back in the socket if you can. If that is not possible, keep it moist in a small container of milk or hold it inside your cheek. Then call (434) 823-4080 and head to our Crozet, VA office immediately. The sooner we see you, the better your chances of keeping your natural tooth.
