Need Emergency Dental Care?

Severe tooth pain, a broken or damaged tooth, sudden sensitivity, swelling, or a dental injury may be signs of a dental emergency and should be evaluated as soon as possible.

Not all dental emergencies are obvious. Sometimes the problem is inside the tooth or beneath the gums, causing symptoms such as persistent sensitivity, throbbing pain, sharp discomfort when eating or drinking, or unexplained swelling. These symptoms can indicate an underlying issue that may worsen without prompt treatment.

At Ashley Dental Center, we understand that dental emergencies can be stressful and uncomfortable. Our team works to provide timely care, relieve pain, and address the cause of your symptoms so you can get back to feeling your best.
