I have been seeing Dr Kitts for at least 30 years, since I was a very small child and he was still at the previous office location. Even when I was living in another state, I timed my dentist appointments for my visits back to WA when possible. You cannot find a better dentist. The new office is very well equipped with the latest tech. The team is fantastic - typically I see Brett. I've never had a negative experience, not even when I was a little kid.

Frequently asked questions
We’ve gathered answers to common questions about emergency dental treatment. This information explains how we handle urgent dental needs, though specific care recommendations will depend on your particular situation.
What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate dental attention due to severe pain, injury, or infection. Some common dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothache or mouth pain.
- Broken or cracked teeth.
- Knocked-out teeth.
- Dental abscess or infection.
- Lost or damaged dental restorations (crowns, fillings, etc.).
- Severe bleeding from the mouth or gums.
Can I go to the emergency room for a dental emergency?
While it’s generally best to see a dentist for dental emergencies, you may need to visit an emergency room if:
- You’re experiencing severe swelling or difficulty breathing, which could indicate a severe infection.
- You’ve suffered a jaw injury or dislocation.
- There’s uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth.
However, keep in mind that most hospital emergency rooms don’t have a dentist on staff, so you may still need to see your dentist for follow-up care.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, call your dentist right away and explain the situation. Most dental offices offer emergency appointments and can guide you on the best course of action until you can be seen. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers and apply a cold compress to the affected area to help manage pain and swelling.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, you can take steps to reduce your risk:
- Maintain good oral hygiene with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.
- Wear a mouthguard during sports or physical activities to protect your teeth from injury.
- Avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages or bite hard objects.
Seek dental treatment for any ongoing issues or concerns, such as toothaches or loose restorations.
How much does emergency dental care cost?
The cost of emergency dental care varies depending on the type and extent of the treatment required. Some dental offices may charge an additional fee for emergency appointments, while others may apply regular treatment fees. It’s important to discuss your dental insurance coverage and payment options with your dentist before receiving emergency dental care.
