Same-day emergency slots for existing and new patients. After hours: leave a message — Dr. Sullivan checks the emergency line.
What to do right now
If you can, Call the office first — we keep same-day emergency slots.
Also Take a photo of what you are dealing with — text it if we ask.
Knocked-out tooth — get to us within 60 minutes if you can. Time matters. Store in milk if the office is not immediately reachable.
If you have Swelling that is spreading, a fever, or trouble breathing or swallowing — go to the ER instead. This is a medical emergency.
What we treat same-day
Tooth pain that will not stop — cracked tooth, infection, or exposed nerve
A knocked-out tooth — get to us fast, keep the tooth in milk
Broken or chipped tooth — bond, veneer, or crown depending on severity
Lost crown, filling, or veneer — often re-bondable
Dental infection or abscess — infection is not something to wait on
Injury to the mouth or jaw — assess and coordinate care
Pain — Ibuprofen if you can take it. Cold compress on the outside for swelling.
Bleeding — Firm pressure with clean gauze for 15 minutes.
Knocked-out tooth — Rinse gently, do not scrub. Keep in milk or saliva.
Broken tooth — Save the fragment. Rinse and cover sharp edges with dental wax.
Dental emergencies do not follow business hours. We keep same-day slots for a reason, and we treat every emergency the same way — evaluate the immediate problem, stabilize it, and plan the follow-up. The important thing is that you call.
The office is closed after hours but Dr. Sullivan checks the emergency line for the messages he can respond to.
For real emergencies, we do our best to get you seen the same day. Calling first is faster.
Call anyway. We can help you triage on the phone.
For a knocked-out tooth, yes — in milk if possible. Bring any broken fragment too.
The visit fee is per-service, same as a scheduled appointment. Membership pricing applies. Financing for larger cases.
Same-day when we can.
