Emergency Dentist FAQ

  • What counts as a dental emergency?

    A dental emergency is any urgent oral issue causing severe pain, bleeding, infection, or risk of permanent damage. Common examples include:
    • Severe toothache
    • Broken or chipped tooth
    • Knocked-out tooth
    • Swelling or abscess
    • Lost filling, crown, or bridge
    • Gum or soft tissue injury
    If you’re unsure, call our Virginia Beach emergency dentist right away—we’ll advise whether you need immediate care.

  • How quickly can I see an emergency dentist in Virginia Beach?

    At Lakeshore Dental, we prioritize emergencies with same-day and after-hours appointments. Call us, and we’ll make sure you’re seen as soon as possible.

  • What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

    • Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root).
    • Rinse gently without scrubbing.
    • Place it back in the socket if possible, or in milk.
    • Call our Virginia Beach emergency dental office immediately—timing is critical to save your tooth.

  • Will emergency dentistry cost more?

    We understand dental emergencies are stressful. That’s why we:
    • Accept most insurance plans
    • Offer flexible payment options
    • Provide transparent pricing before treatment
    Your health comes first—we’ll help you manage costs without delaying care.

  • Do you take walk-in dental emergencies?

    Yes. If you’re in Virginia Beach 23455 and experiencing a dental emergency, you can walk in or call ahead. We’ll do everything possible to treat you promptly.

  • Why choose Lakeshore Dental for emergency dentistry in Virginia Beach?

    • Experienced emergency dentists
    • State-of-the-art technology for fast diagnosis
    • Same-day pain relief and treatment
    • Friendly, compassionate care
    • Conveniently located in Virginia Beach (23455)

  • What should I do if I have a severe toothache?

    Severe tooth pain can indicate infection, decay, or nerve damage. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain relief if safe, and call our Virginia Beach emergency dentist immediately. Early treatment prevents further damage.

  • Can you repair a broken or chipped tooth?

    Yes! Depending on the severity, we can:
    • Smooth minor chips
    • Place dental bonding
    • Fit a crown for larger fractures
    • Perform root canal if the nerve is affected
    Same-day repairs are often possible to restore both function and appearance.

  • What if my crown, filling, or veneer falls out?

    Lost dental work can expose your tooth to infection and sensitivity. Keep the restoration, avoid chewing on that side, and contact Lakeshore Dental for urgent reattachment or replacement.

  • How do you treat a knocked-out tooth?

    If a tooth is knocked out, quick action is essential:
    • Handle by the crown only
    • Rinse gently, do not scrub
    • Place in milk or saliva
    • Call our office immediately
    We can often save the tooth if you reach us quickly.

  • What do you do for dental abscesses or infections?

    Dental infections can cause swelling, pain, and fever. We provide:
    • Drainage of abscess
    • Antibiotic treatment
    • Root canal or extraction if necessary
    Do not ignore an infection—it can spread and become dangerous.

  • Can you handle jaw or facial injuries?

    Yes. We treat injuries caused by accidents, sports, or trauma. Services include:
    • Tooth repositioning or splinting
    • Management of fractured jaw or teeth
    • Pain relief and follow-up care

  • Are emergency extractions available?

    If a tooth cannot be saved due to decay, trauma, or infection, same-day extractions are available to prevent further pain or complications.

  • What pain relief options are available during emergency visits?

    We provide:
    • Local anesthesia for immediate relief
    • Sedation options for anxious patients
    • Post-treatment pain management guidance

  • Do you offer pediatric emergency dentistry?
