“My time at Canary Dental has been beyond impressive. My Invisalign journey here has been a game-changer. The high-tech iTero scanner they use gave me such clear insight into my treatment. Before we even started, my dentist showed me a detailed 3D scan of my mouth and talked through my future smile. It was like nothing I’ve experienced before.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

Severe toothache, facial swelling, a knocked-out or broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of infection. When in doubt, call us.

K

Can I schedule a same-day emergency appointment?

Yes. We set aside time for urgent visits and do our best to see you the same day.

K

Do you accept dental insurance?

K

How soon should I seek treatment for a knocked-out tooth?

Immediately. Handle the tooth by the crown, gently rinse (don’t scrub), place it back in the socket if possible or in milk, and come in right away.

K

What should I do until my appointment?

Avoid chewing on the area, keep it clean with lukewarm saltwater rinses, use over-the-counter pain relievers as directed, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.

Will antibiotics alone fix a tooth infection?

Not usually. Antibiotics can calm swelling temporarily, but the source must be treated — often with a root canal, drainage, or extraction — to resolve the infection and prevent recurrence.
