Emergency Dental Care in Arlington VA
We’re Here for You When Urgent Care Is Needed Most
Emergency dental care exists for the moments when a problem cannot wait for a routine visit. A dental emergency is any situation that involves severe pain, bleeding, trauma, or infection that needs immediate attention. Acting immediately often makes the difference between saving a tooth and losing it, which is why our Arlington office treats emergency dentistry as a true priority rather than a request that gets squeezed in weeks later. An experienced emergency dentist can spot the underlying issue fast and treat it before it spreads to nearby teeth.
When you contact Arlington Advanced Dental Care, our staff will ask a few questions to understand your situation, give you guidance over the phone, and bring you in as soon as possible. Prompt treatment protects your oral health, eases your discomfort, and lowers the risk of further damage to your teeth. No matter the time of day, do not hesitate to reach our office during office hours the moment something feels wrong, and the AADC team will respond immediately.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Everything from Broken and Missing Teeth to Abscesses and Severe Tooth Pain
Common dental emergencies range from a cracked filling to a serious injury, and Dr. Ahmadian and his experienced team at Arlington Advanced Dental Care are equipped to diagnose and treat each emergency situation. If you are unsure whether your problem counts as an emergency, contact us and let us help you decide. The dental issues below are cases we see most often in our Arlington office, and most respond well to prompt care.
Severe Toothache
A severe toothache can signal decay, an abscess, or an infection deep in the pulp. Severe tooth pain that lingers or worsens is a sign you should not ignore, because it often means the trouble is spreading to nearby teeth. While you wait for your emergency visit, rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress on your face to ease the swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, since it can burn the tissue. Persistent toothaches almost always need a dentist to find and treat the underlying cause.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out tooth is one of the few dental emergencies where minutes truly matter. Many people lose teeth to sports injuries and falls every year, and a tooth can often be saved if it is re-implanted within a couple of hours. Hold the tooth by the crown, never the root, and rinse it gently with water without scrubbing. If you cannot place it back in the socket, store it in milk or saliva and bring it with you to the Arlington Advanced Dental Care office so Dr. Ahmadian has the best chance to save it.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
Broken teeth and chipped teeth happen from an accident, biting hard food, or grinding your teeth over time. Save any fragments, rinse your mouth with warm water, and shield the area until you arrive. Minor chips on front or back teeth can often be smoothed or repaired with bonding, while a more serious break may need a crown to cover the tooth and keep it from cracking further. Either way, having broken teeth looked at quickly keeps a small issue from turning into a painful one, and most chipped teeth are simple to fix when treated early.
Lost Filling or Crown
A lost filling or loose crown leaves the sensitive inner tooth exposed and prone to pain and decay. Keep the crown (if you can find it) and bring it to your appointment, since it can sometimes be re-cemented. In the meantime, avoid chewing on that side and keep the area clean.
Abscess, Infection, and Sudden Swelling
Facial swelling, a fever, or a painful bump on the gums can point to a dental infection or abscess that needs urgent attention. An untreated infection can spread, so this is one situation where you should not wait. We may prescribe antibiotics and perform root canal therapy or an extraction to remove the source of the pain and relieve the pressure.
What to Do Before You Reach Our Office
Before You See Dr. Ahmadian, You Can Alleviate Pain and Stanch Bleeding
A few simple steps can ease your discomfort and protect your smile while you make your way to us. Try to stay calm, because most dental emergencies are easier to deal with than they might first seem. For severe tooth pain, rinse with warm salt water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. For bleeding, place gentle pressure with clean gauze. For an object caught between teeth, use floss carefully rather than a sharp tool. Save any broken pieces, keep a knocked-out tooth moist, and call us so we can guide you with instructions specific to your case.
Same-Day Emergency Appointments
We Make Every Effort To Get You Into the Arlington Advanced Dental Office ASAP
We offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies whenever possible, because we know pain and worry do not keep office hours. Even if a dental emergency suddenly strikes on a Saturday night, we’ll do everything we can to get you into the Arlington Advanced Dental Care office on Monday.
When you call, let us know it’s urgent and we’ll find the soonest opening, often the same day. Walk-in patients in real distress are always a priority. Our goal is to provide fast relief, a clear diagnosis, and a treatment plan you understand before you leave.
Emergency Dentistry Treatments
Including Fillings, Bondings, Crowns, Extractions, and Root Canals
Once we have examined your mouth – often using imaging to see the full picture – we explain what’s happening and what your options are. Emergency dentistry treatments may include a filling to repair decay, dental bonding to fix a chipped tooth, a crown to protect a broken tooth, or root canal therapy to save an infected tooth. In rare instances when a tooth cannot be saved, a careful extraction relieves the pain and protects the rest of your smile, and we discuss replacement options such as implants or bridges so you can plan your follow-up care.
Cost, Dental Insurance, and Financing
No Need To Brace for Financial Impact. We’ll Work with You on Payment
An unexpected dental problem should not become a financial burden. We accept most dental insurance plans and work with a range of insurance providers to maximize your benefits and file your claim for you. For treatment beyond what insurance covers, we offer financing options that spread the cost into manageable payments. Our team will walk you through the expected cost up-front so there are no surprises, and we will help you find a solution that fits your budget.
