Emergency Dentistry
Severe pain or discomfort in the jaw, gums or teeth can often
become unbearable. At Smile by Dr. John Paul we offer same-day
emergency dental services and appointments to provide immediate
relief and long-term dental solutions!
If you are experiencing a dental emergency:
• Calmly assess jaw, lips, teeth & gums. Look for
swelling, bleeding, broken bones, and altered teeth.
• Decide
if you need to call the dentist. We recommend calling if: a tooth
has been pushed back or fallen out, you or you have bitten through
the upper or lower lip or tongue.
• Decide if an Emergency
Room visit is needed. We recommend going to the ER if: there is a
broken bone or other significant injury.
• Monitor the
situation from home. We recommend monitoring the situation from
home if: your child is not bleeding, no major bruising or swelling
has occurred, no teeth have been moved or no teeth are
significantly mobile.
If you are suffering from severe
pain or discomfort don’t hesitate to call us! Our accommodating
team will help you schedule an emergency exam as soon as possible.
We’re here to help!

"Might be the best dentist office visit I have ever had. I found out things about my teeth I hadn't known in all my 62 years. Dr. Paul is awesome and every person I met or spoke to on the phone prior to my initial appointment was also really great. Highly recommend."
