Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
When pain strikes, we stand ready. Our team understands that dental emergencies demand immediate, expert intervention.
Severe Toothache or Swelling
Persistent or intense pain could signal an infection that needs immediate attention.
Chipped, Fractured, or Broken Teeth
Prompt care is crucial to relieve pain and prevent further damage.
Knocked-Out Tooth (Avulsion)
A time-sensitive emergency — handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), place it in milk, and seek care immediately.
Dental Abscesses
Dangerous infections require immediate professional care to prevent serious complications.
Lost Crown or Filling
Broken crowns, lost fillings, and damaged bridges get immediate professional attention.
Surgical Emergencies
We treat abscesses, soft tissue injuries, and implant-related complications (such as peri-implantitis).
The Surgical Advantage in Emergency Care
When a dental emergency is complex or severe, having a specialist like Dr. Rafik Dib — a Periodontist and surgical expert — can make all the difference in protecting your oral health and ensuring the best possible outcome.
The AVA Dental Difference
Complex Extractions: Severe infections and deeply impacted teeth often require surgical tooth extraction. As a highly trained Periodontist, Dr. Rafik Dib performs these procedures safely and precisely, minimizing trauma and promoting faster recovery.
Infection Management: Advanced expertise in diagnosing and treating dental abscesses and deep jawbone or gum infections ensures rapid control of the problem before it spreads.
Advanced Diagnostics: In-house 3D CBCT imaging allows Dr. Rafik Dib to quickly detect bone loss, root fractures, or hidden complications — enabling immediate, targeted treatment planning.
Immediate Pain Relief: Emergency care is designed for patient comfort. With the use of local anesthesia and IV sedation (when needed), treatment is both effective and stress-free.

What to Do Until You Arrive (First Aid)
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, follow these simple steps before you reach our office to help protect your teeth and reduce discomfort:
For Pain: Take an over-the-counter pain reliever, but do not place aspirin directly on your gums or tooth — it can cause tissue irritation or burns.
For Swelling: Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to help reduce swelling and ease pain.
For a Knocked-Out Tooth: Gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing it. If possible, place it back into the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it moist by storing it in milk or a saline solution. Call our office immediately.
