Steps to Take in a Dental Emergency
In the event of an emergency dental problem, you should contact our Fairfax office right away and we will schedule you to see the dentist as soon as possible. In the meantime, we recommend taking the following steps:
Rinse your mouth out with warm water and gently bite down on sterile gauze if you notice any bleeding. If you are in pain, you have likely sustained nerve damage in the tooth. Apply an ice pack to help limit discomfort and swelling in the area.
You may have an abscess or infection and need a root canal. You can take over-the-counter pain meds or anti-inflammatories to help mitigate the pain. If your gums are red and swollen, try placing an ice pack on the inflamed area.
It is possible to reattach the crown to the root as long as you keep the tooth stored and moist until you see the dentist. Rinse the tooth but refrain from scrubbing it. You can attempt to position it back in the socket as long as you avoid touching an exposed root. You can also place the tooth in a glass of milk.
Try to dislodge the object with a piece of dental floss gently. Don't use a sharp or pointy instrument because you can scratch or chip your teeth. If it remains trapped, you should contact our office right away. A foreign object stuck between the teeth can lead to many serious dental health issues - let us help.

"They Really Care about Their Patients" 5-Star Reviews
Bob Cann

I am so happy with the work done by Dr. Kamali and his Dental Assistant (Diana). I had an emergency tooth extraction last Sunday, and I am extremely satisfied. First, both he and Diana were very nice and very friendly which helped a lot in easing anxiety of an otherwise unpopular oral surgery. The extraction itself was painless...utterly painless. Now 2 days later, I still have no post-surgery discomfort. I can't believe how much pain I was in...and now nothing! Dr Kamali is a life saver! Thank you!!

Dr. Kamali and his assistant were amazing. In great pain all day Saturday I called all the dentists that listed 24x7 emergency services. Most didn’t even answer. The few that did said they were closed and one was downright rude. Sunday morning still in pain I tried once more and by God’s Grace found Fairfax Family Dental Care. Dr. Kamali answered the phone and said he would meet me at his office. He took care of everything quickly, professionally, affordably, and most of all compassionately. This is my only dentists office from now on. They demonstrated that they really care about their patients.

If you experience sudden oral pain or trauma to your mouth, your initial reaction may be to head to the hospital. While certain circumstances like a broken jaw or a severe laceration will require the help of an ER doctor, our dentists are often better equipped to handle specific dental emergencies. A visit to our Fairfax practice can save you time and money by getting you the care you need sooner, without the hefty fees that come with the emergency room.
Accurate Diagnoses for Optimal Care
While emergencies are time-sensitive, our dentists don't rush their work or cut any corners. We take the time to understand your case and determine the best course of action for treatment. We use advanced technology to take digital scans of your mouth and diagnose your condition with confidence. When you visit us, you're in the hands of dentists who genuinely care about their work.
Emergencies We Can Treat
:quality(70)/https://d1l9wtg77iuzz5.cloudfront.net/assets/4213/313901/original.jpg?1598631349)
Toothache
Tooth pain can be unbearable and requires immediate attention. A toothache can be caused by several different dental complications, including infection or decay. For an infected tooth, our emergency dentists perform conservative root canal treatment in order to avoid the need for an extraction. For a minor toothache that is caused by a cavity, we can provide a dental filling.

Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Teeth
Structural damage to a tooth can be excruciating, especially if the damage extends to your root. Our dentists provide pain relief and can restore any broken teeth you have. If you have suffered severe damage, we can create and place a dental crown. If you are left with cosmetic issues after we address your urgent needs, we can restore your smile's appearance by concealing cracks and chips using dental bonding or porcelain veneers.

Lost Teeth
If you experience trauma severe enough to dislodge a tooth, it is essential that you see a dentist immediately. The sooner you can receive our dentists' help, the higher the chance we can save your natural tooth. If we cannot save your natural tooth, we can replace it with a durable, lifelike restoration. Depending on your situation, you may need a dental implant to help restore your smile. Advancements in dentistry allow us to replace missing teeth in a way that restores your health and appearance.

Damaged Dental Work
If your dental crowns or porcelain veneers break or fall off, save the pieces and call our office for an appointment. Our emergency dentists may be able to reattach your restoration. If not, we can help create a new dental crown or veneer that seamlessly blends into your smile. Our dentists can help you decide what type of material is best for your needs in terms of strength and aesthetics.

Many dental emergencies require the use of dental crowns. Crowns are like caps that fit over natural teeth, protecting them from further damage.
