In life, the unexpected happens, rather often. We’ve got kids that get hit in the face with a swing, or somebody trips and falls on the sidewalk and they don’t catch themselves. That can happen to kids, that can happen to adults. Lots of things happen. Car accidents happen. Getting people back to being healthy as quickly as we possibly can is necessary, so when we get those phone calls, we make the time.

Maintain Your Bright Smile With Emergency Dental Care
Many emergencies require a restorative dentistry procedure to relieve your pain and repair your smile. Our dentists have dealt with many emergencies in their combined 40-plus years of practice. They treat emergencies such as broken teeth and infected teeth with:
- Tooth Fillings – We can often repair a decayed tooth with a filling. Unlike metal fillings, our fillings are made of tooth-colored composite. You’ll never have to worry about your fillings showing! For larger cavities, we may suggest another dental restoration like an inlay or onlay.
- Dental Crowns – We use crowns to mend the largest cavities. Since it covers your entire tooth, a crown can also fix cracks and breaks. A crown prevents bacteria from getting inside your tooth, where it can cause infection.
- Root Canals – If your tooth becomes infected, we’ll perform a root canal. This procedure relieves your pain and prevents the loss of the tooth.
- Tooth Removal – If a damaged tooth can’t be saved with a root canal or other treatment, we can gently extract it and discuss replacement options.
No matter which procedure you receive, you can stay relaxed throughout your treatment with dental sedation.
Call us right away at 479-668-3109 for a same-day appointment. You can schedule non-emergency appointments online. You can stay calm knowing we’re here for you during dental emergencies in Fort Smith!
Common Questions About Dental Emergencies
When you come in for a dental emergency, we’ll first assess your condition to determine the next steps. Depending on your situation, we will recommend particular services to restore your smile. They may include a tooth-colored filling to repair dental decay, a dental crown to strengthen a damaged tooth, a root canal to repair an infected tooth, or a tooth extraction if we’re not able to save your tooth.
Even if you don’t have any insurance, we’ll still be happy to help you with your dental emergency. We don’t want anyone suffering needlessly through a dental crisis.

No one can anticipate every possible dental emergency, but you can take steps to reduce your odds of having such a problem. Following ADA recommendations – brushing and flossing daily and getting regular dental cleanings – reduces your risk of tooth infections and gum disease. Plus, wearing athletic mouthguards during sports can protect your teeth from injuries.
