Emergency Dentist

We get that when it comes to tooth or jaw pain, you want to see an emergency dentist ASAP. That’s why we offer same-day emergency dental care for all patients. Yes, even for new patients.

Emergencies never come at a convenient time – they often strike right before a significant moment, leaving you grappling with a cracked or missing tooth, just days or even hours before a significant event. Though we can’t prevent these emergencies from happening, we’re here to help you get back into the rhythm of your busy life.

Emergency dental issues may arise due to a number of different causes and may present several different signs that they’re present. These signs include:

• Consistent pain in the face, mouth, or tooth area
• Persistent bleeding in the mouth
• Broken jawbones or other facial bones
• Any sign of infection in the mouth or jaw
• Cracked, broken, loosened, or knocked-out teeth
• Damaged fillings, crowns, bridges, or even devices like braces or other orthodontic items
• Broken dentures (in older adults typically)

We feel it’s important to note that for the area of emergency dentistry, we do not discriminate between patients who are registered with us for standard dental services and those who aren’t. You do not need an appointment or an account with us to receive our emergency dental services, as we believe the right thing to do is to offer these to anyone who might be in need if our offices are the closest available option.

Trust the dentists at Bright Side Dental & Orthodontics to determine whether your dental problem is an emergency. Not getting prompt attention for a dental emergency can result in permanent damage. Call the after-hours number of our St. Clair Shores office to speak to a dental professional whenever you have a dental emergency and the office is closed.
