When dental pain won’t wait, Dr. Graham is here to help you get relief.
Dental pain has a way of showing up at the worst possible time, and waiting it out is rarely the right call. Dr. Graham understands how much discomfort a toothache or dental injury can cause, and he's focused on getting patients out of pain as quickly as possible once they're in the chair.
Getting you out of pain comes first. Dr. Graham will explain what's happening and the fastest path to relief before discussing longer-term treatment.
Dental emergencies are stressful enough without added anxiety. If you need it, nitrous oxide is available to help you stay comfortable during treatment.
Not every dental issue is a true emergency, but some shouldn’t wait. Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, and swelling in the mouth or face are all reasons to contact our office as soon as possible. Bleeding that won’t stop or a lost filling or crown that’s causing discomfort are worth a call too, even if you’re not sure how urgent it is. When in doubt, it’s better to call and ask than to wait and hope it resolves on its own.
Few dental procedures carry as much unearned dread as a root canal, and Dr. Graham hears the worry every time a patient walks in gripping their jaw. What most people don’t expect is that the treatment itself is what ends the pain, not something to brace against on top of it. The infection or damage inside the tooth is the actual source of discomfort, and once that’s addressed, patients often describe feeling immediate relief rather than lingering soreness. In an emergency visit, Dr. Graham’s approach is to address the root cause quickly, so you’re not just holding on until the pain fades on its own.
During an emergency visit, Dr. Graham will evaluate what’s going on, often using digital X-rays or CBCT imaging to see the full picture rather than guessing at the cause. From there, he’ll walk you through what’s causing the pain, your treatment options, and what each one would involve. You’ll understand your options before any treatment begins, even in an urgent situation, so nothing about your visit feels rushed or unclear.
