Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Pick up the tooth by the crown, not the root. If it's dirty, rinse it gently with water but do not scrub it. Try to place it back in the socket if possible, or keep it moist in a glass of milk or between your cheek and gum. Call our office immediately and get in as quickly as you can. The first hour is critical.
How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?
Dr. Gordon and her team prioritize emergency patients and will make every effort to see you the same day you call. If you're in pain or dealing with trauma, don't wait. Call our office right away.
Will emergency dental care be covered by my insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. Our team will work with you to understand your benefits and explore payment options so that cost is never a barrier to getting the care you need.
