How can we help you? FAQ’s
Among our primary goals in providing you with top-notch dental care is to educate you and answer each of your questions.
Here are some common questions our patients ask, so we thought to include the answers for easy review. Whether you're curious about preventive care, treatment procedures, or our approach to dentistry, you'll find valuable information here. If your question isn't answered here, please get in touch with our dental office. It's important to us that our patients understand their dental care, and we are always here to provide the information and support you need to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. Your comfort and confidence in your dental care are our top priorities.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that involves sudden pain, trauma, infection, or damage to your teeth or gums. Common examples include severe toothaches, chipped or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, swelling or abscesses, and bleeding that won’t stop. If you’re unsure, it’s always better to call — we’ll let you know if you need immediate care.
How quickly can I be seen?
At James Lin, DMD, we reserve time specifically for emergencies. In most cases, you can be seen the same day — often within a few hours of your call. We’re open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
Can you save a broken or knocked-out tooth?
Yes — but time matters. A broken tooth can often be repaired with bonding, a crown, or another treatment to restore strength and appearance. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved if you get to us within 30–60 minutes. Place the tooth back in its socket if possible, or keep it in a container of milk, and call us right away.
Should I go to the ER or an emergency dentist?
Most dental emergencies are best treated by an emergency dentist, since hospitals usually don’t have dental specialists on staff. However, if you are experiencing life-threatening symptoms such as difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, or trauma involving your jaw or face. For everything else — severe pain, infection, broken or chipped teeth — call us and we’ll get you treated right away.
