Same-Day Emergency Appointments

Dental emergencies don’t wait, and neither should you. That’s why we reserve time in our schedule for same-day appointments whenever possible. If you or your child experiences pain, swelling, or an accident that affects your teeth, call our office right away at (585) 461-1200.

Our team will provide immediate guidance over the phone and arrange for you to be seen as quickly as possible.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

When an emergency strikes, knowing what to do before you arrive can make all the difference. Here are a few quick steps for common situations:

• Knocked-Out Tooth
  
  • Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root).
    
  • Rinse gently with water if dirty — do not scrub.
    
  • Place the tooth back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk.
    
  • Call us immediately for urgent care.
    
• Chipped or Broken Tooth
  
  • Save any pieces you can find.
    
  • Rinse your mouth with warm water.
    
  • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
    
  • Contact us to schedule same-day treatment.
    
• Severe Toothache
  
  • Rinse with warm water and gently floss to remove debris.
    
  • Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
    
  • Call our office if pain persists or worsens.
    
• Traumatic Dental Injury
  
  • Apply pressure with clean gauze for bleeding.
    
  • Use a cold compress for swelling.
    
  • Seek immediate dental or medical attention.
    

Knowing these steps — and having our number handy — ensures you can act quickly and confidently in an emergency.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

At Westfall Dental Studio, we provide care for a wide range of urgent dental needs, including:

Chipped Tooth Repair

Even a small chip can affect your child’s smile or cause sensitivity. We offer quick, effective treatments such as dental bonding or tooth-colored fillings to restore the natural look and function of your tooth.

Cracked Tooth Treatment

A cracked tooth can be painful and requires immediate attention to prevent infection or further damage. Depending on the severity, we may recommend a dental crown, root canal therapy, or other restorative solutions.

Traumatic Injuries

Sports accidents, falls, or other injuries can lead to knocked-out or displaced teeth. If this happens, contact us immediately for urgent instructions. In many cases, quick treatment can save the tooth. We may use a sports guard in the future to prevent further injuries.

Not all dental offices are equipped to handle both pediatric and adult emergencies, but Westfall Dental Studio is different. With decades of experience and specialized training in children’s dentistry and patients with disabilities, we provide care for the whole family under one roof. Whether it’s a toddler with a broken tooth or an adult with sudden pain, our team is ready to help.
