How We Treat Dental Emergencies
Here’s a brief breakdown of how we address dental emergencies in West Roxbury:

- Give Us a Call – Dental emergencies don’t treat themselves, and until you’ve called and informed us of the situation, things will likely continue to hurt. After you’ve described your symptoms, we’ll tell you when to come in and provide first-aid tips over the phone. Our office proudly offers same-day and after-hours care, so don’t hesitate to call us whenever you can!
- Attend Your Appointment – Once you’re here, our top priority is addressing your pain. When you’re here, we can examine your smile, fully assess the situation, and then get started with treatment.
- Receive Urgent Care – There is no standard, blanket-fix for dental emergencies; how you’re treated will depend on the nature of your injury. We’ll review all proposed treatment plans with you before proceeding with your care.
The Most Common Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies come in all shapes and sizes, and just because things may not seem severe does not mean you should put off seeking care and calling our office. To give you an idea of how our dental team in West Roxbury can treat emergencies, click on the icons below.
Root Canal Treatment

Root canals have a bit of an unfair reputation, but the truth is, there’s often no better way of salvaging a tooth that has become severely damaged or decayed. After numbing your mouth, we can make a tiny opening in the tooth to remove the compromised tissue, sanitize it, and fill and seal it. A dental crown is also often placed on top to protect the tooth and restore its function and appearance.
Tooth Extractions

It’s not always easy to hear that you’re going to need to undergo a tooth extraction; however, you should know that if this is something our team has recommended for you, you have nothing to worry about. We only suggest tooth extraction if the pearly white in question poses a threat to your future oral health, or if there’s truly no way to save it. Rest assured, we can also promise a smooth and stress-free process from start to finish.
