Emergency Dental Care
Immediate Assistance When You Need It the Most
Emergency dental services can make the difference between losing a tooth, or saving it. Most emergency rooms can’t help with a dental emergency. If you’re having a dental emergency, your dentist can best treat you. Waiting for treatment isn’t an option, and at Soundview Family Dental, we put our patients and their dental emergencies first.

Why choose our Edmonds emergency dentist
Don’t delay treatment – get the help you need now. At Soundview Family Dental in Edmonds, we set aside hours in our scheduling each day to accommodate dental emergencies. This allows us to treat patients who are in severe pain and can’t wait, or those who have had an injury to their teeth, like a tooth being dislodged or displaced. While your first instinct may be to go to the emergency room, we urge you to contact our office first. In most cases, we can assess the problem over the phone and determine whether you should be seen immediately, or if the situation can wait to be resolved the next day (if outside of regular office hours).
We do have an after-hours line available. The line is accessible whenever you need to contact our dentist in an emergency. When you call, an emergency dentist will go over your specific situation and whether it requires immediate attention. If the problem can wait until the next business day, we will fit you in quickly in the dedicated slots we have open for emergencies.
Let us care for your smile!

What’s Considered a Dental Emergency and When Should You Call Us?
Extreme tooth pain.
If you’ve just lost a permanent tooth, rinse the tooth in plain water without scrubbing. If the tooth will rest gently in the socket from which it was removed, you may try setting it there until you can get to the dentist – but be careful that you are not in danger of swallowing the tooth. Alternatively, you may sometimes prolong the viability of a tooth by putting it in a cup of milk. There is only a limited amount of time to get the tooth back into your jaw before it loses viability, because it is living tissue
.
Prevent the Preventable
Untimely tooth loss is something no one wants to go through. Losing a tooth can affect your confidence in a major way. However, just because a tooth is loose or even if it has come out of the socket, there are options available to save it. If your tooth has come out, keep the tooth. It may be possible for us to position the tooth and prevent permanent tooth loss. When calling after hours, our dentist can advise the best way to avoid tooth loss, and preserve your tooth for restoration.
For those who are experiencing severe pain, we can help solve this problem as well. We know that pain from an infected tooth or abscess is one of the worst pains a person can experience. We can address the issue quickly, and help you to feel better sooner.
Urgency Is Key
Taking quick action can make all the difference. Our Edmonds dental office is always here to reassure you, and to advise what you should do while waiting for an appointment if your emergency can wait till the next day.
