Emergency dentistry

Same-day care for toothaches, broken teeth, lost restorations, and dental injuries — fast, gentle relief when you need it most.

When a dental emergency strikes, you need help fast. Call us and we'll work to see you the same day.

Dental emergencies, handled with care

A dental emergency can be painful and frightening — and it always seems to happen at the worst possible time. When it does, Oakland Family Dental is here to help. We offer same-day appointments for urgent problems so you can get fast, gentle relief from a dentist you trust.

If you're experiencing severe pain, bleeding, or a knocked-out tooth, call us right away at (248) 674-0384. The sooner we see you, the better the outcome — and the more comfortable you'll be.

We treat emergencies like

  • Severe or persistent toothaches
  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
  • Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
  • Lost fillings or crowns
  • Abscesses, swelling, and dental infections
  • Injuries to the gums, lips, or mouth
What to do for a knocked-out tooth. Gently rinse it without scrubbing, keep it moist (in milk or against your cheek), and call us immediately. Acting fast can sometimes save the tooth.

Relief first, then a plan

Our first priority is getting you out of pain. Once you're comfortable, Dr. Sheehan will explain what happened and lay out your options to restore the tooth and prevent future problems.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe pain, bleeding that won't stop, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, swelling, or a dental infection all warrant urgent care. When in doubt, call us.
Can you see me today?
We do our best to offer same-day appointments for true emergencies. Call (248) 674-0384 as early as you can so we can fit you in.
What should I do for a knocked-out tooth?
Handle it by the crown (not the root), gently rinse, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and get to us right away — quick action can sometimes save it.
