Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them—and when they do, getting fast, expert care is crucial. At Murphy Crossing Dental Care, we offer same-day emergency appointments to help you get relief right away. Whether you’re in severe pain, have a cracked tooth, or are dealing with a dental abscess, our experienced team is ready to stop the discomfort, prevent further damage, and restore your oral health—quickly and comfortably.
Severe Tooth Pain
Sudden or throbbing tooth pain could be a sign of an infection, nerve damage, or deep decay. We’ll pinpoint the cause and provide immediate relief through treatment options like medication, fillings, or root canal therapy.
Bleeding, Swollen, or Injured Gums
Bleeding, inflamed, or injured gums may indicate trauma or infection. Whether it’s caused by gum disease, an abscess, or an injury, we’ll assess the issue and provide targeted care to stop the discomfort and protect your overall health.
Chipped, Fractured, or Broken Teeth
Accidents happen—whether from a fall, biting something hard, or playing sports. We treat everything from small chips to major fractures with fast, effective solutions to restore the tooth and prevent further complications.
Lost or Cracked Fillings
If a filling falls out or cracks, your tooth becomes exposed and sensitive. We’ll repair it promptly with a durable, tooth-colored filling to restore function and comfort.
Lost or Broken Crowns
A missing or damaged crown can leave your tooth vulnerable to damage or decay. We offer same-day crown repairs or replacements using high-quality materials to protect your tooth and restore your smile without delay.
Dental Abscesses
A dental abscess is a serious infection that requires immediate care. If you’re experiencing swelling, fever, or severe pain, we’ll drain the infection, relieve your symptoms, and begin appropriate treatment to restore your health.

Answers to Your Dental Questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
Any situation involving severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, swelling, or signs of infection may be a dental emergency. When in doubt, call us right away.
Can I go to the ER for tooth pain?
Hospital ERs can help with pain relief or infection control, but they typically won’t treat the underlying dental issue. For dental-specific care, it’s best to visit an emergency dentist like us.
How do I relieve tooth pain at home?
You can rinse with warm salt water, apply a cold compress, and take over-the-counter pain medication. These are temporary fixes—be sure to contact us for proper treatment.
What should I do if I break a tooth?
Rinse your mouth, save any broken pieces, and avoid chewing on that side. Call us immediately so we can assess and treat the damage.
Can a lost filling or crown wait?
It’s best not to wait. A lost filling or crown exposes the tooth and can lead to sensitivity, decay, or breakage. Contact us for a prompt repair.
How do I know if I have a dental abscess?
Signs of a dental abscess include swelling, persistent pain, a bad taste in your mouth, pus, or fever. This is a serious infection that requires immediate care.
