Patient Reviews

Steve M

I have been a patient at this dental practice for over 25 years. Although the practice has new ownership, most of the staff continue to work in the practice along side the new dentists. All of these folks are truly exceptional, caring and dedicated to their work. The practice remains at the cutting edge in the use of refined technologies that are more effective and limit patient discomfort. I strongly recommend this practice.

Frequently asked questions

Emergency Dentistry Q & A

What do emergency dentists do?

Emergency dentists specialize in treating mouth and dental injuries that need urgent care. Many dental emergencies, such as a broken or knocked-out tooth, risk permanent tooth loss if not addressed promptly. To improve the chances of saving your teeth, visit Luna Dental within 30 minutes of experiencing a serious mouth or tooth injury.

Is it a dental emergency?

If you’re worried about a serious mouth injury for yourself or a family member, it’s important to seek emergency dental care right away. Common dental emergencies include:

Knocked-out teeth
A loose permanent tooth
Severe mouth or tooth pain
Bleeding from your tongue, gums, or cheeks
An injury to your face or mouth
Swelling in your mouth, gums, or tongue
A severely cracked or broken tooth
A cut or laceration on your lips

Chipping a tooth may not always be a dental emergency, but if you’re concerned, don’t hesitate to contact our experienced dental team at Luna Dental. We can advise you on how to care for your tooth until you can visit the office

How should I handle a knocked-out tooth?

A knocked-out tooth is a critical dental emergency, and delaying a visit to the dentist could result in losing the tooth permanently. It’s important to quickly clean your mouth and the injured tooth, especially if it has fallen out and gotten dirty. Follow these steps to help save a knocked-out tooth:

Rinse your mouth and the tooth with warm water, being careful not to touch the tooth’s root.
Hold the tooth gently by the top or crown while cleaning it.
If you can, place the tooth back into its socket in your gum.
Gently bite down on a gauze pad to keep the tooth in place until you reach Luna Dental.

If you can’t put the tooth back in its socket, keep it moist by holding it in your mouth next to your cheek or placing it in a glass of milk. Keeping the tooth moist is crucial to preserving its root.

Don’t let a broken or knocked-out tooth stop you from enjoying your smile. Use Luna Dental’s emergency phone line and walk-in appointments for expert care during any dental emergency.
