Dental Emergency? Call Us Now.

What to Do Right Now

If something hurts — or if a tooth is cracked, knocked out, or broken — the first step is simple: call us. We keep time in our schedule specifically for urgent situations, and we'll get you seen as quickly as possible.

Dental emergencies don't all look the same. Severe or throbbing tooth pain, a cracked or fractured tooth, a knocked-out or displaced tooth, a lost crown or filling causing pain, swelling in your gums or jaw, or an abscess — all of these qualify. If you're unsure whether what you're experiencing is a true emergency, call anyway. We'd rather talk you through it than have you wait on something that needs attention.

When you arrive, we'll focus on one thing first: getting you out of pain. Then we'll take the time to understand what caused the problem and walk you through what comes next. At Aultman Dental Leeds, we don't just patch and send you on your way. Once the immediate issue is resolved, we'll work with you to build a plan that addresses the underlying cause — so this doesn't become a recurring pattern.

We use advanced diagnostic imaging, including CBCT and digital sensors, to understand exactly what's happening before we touch anything. You'll have one doctor, a clear explanation, and a next step before you leave. The goal isn't just to get you out of pain today — it's to make sure you're not back in the same chair with the same problem six months from now.
