Accidents happen. When they do, Dr. Forbes and the team are ready to provide immediate, expert care to relieve your pain and protect your oral health.
When It Matters Most
Dental emergencies demand prompt attention.

If a tooth extraction or other urgent procedure is needed, we are prepared to act.
We understand that dental emergencies do not follow a schedule. Our team is prepared to respond quickly and effectively when you need us most.
Common Emergencies
Common reasons to seek emergency dental care include severe toothaches, knocked-out or loose teeth, broken or cracked teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses or infections, soft tissue injuries, and jaw pain or swelling. If you experience any of these, contact our office right away.

The Process
Every step is intentional. Nothing is rushed, nothing is improvised, and nothing moves forward without your understanding.
Contact us immediately at 804.320.8894. We will assess your situation over the phone and schedule you for the earliest available appointment, often the same day.
Dr. Forbes performs a thorough examination of the affected area, including digital X-rays if needed, to determine the extent of the injury or infection.
Immediate steps are taken to relieve pain and discomfort. Local anesthesia and sedation options are available depending on the nature and severity of the emergency.
The appropriate treatment is administered, whether that involves reattaching a tooth, placing a temporary restoration, draining an abscess, or stabilizing a fracture.
A detailed follow-up plan is created to ensure proper healing and address any additional treatment needs. We schedule check-in appointments as needed.
