Severe pain or discomfort in the jaw, gums or teeth can often become unbearable. At Norton Shores Family Dentistry we offer same-day emergency dental services and appointments to provide immediate relief and long-term dental solutions!
If you are experiencing a dental emergency:
• Calmly assess jaw, lips, teeth & gums. Look for swelling, bleeding, broken bones, and altered teeth.
• Decide if you need to call the dentist. We recommend calling if: a tooth has been pushed back or fallen out, you or you have bitten through the upper or lower lip or tongue.
• Decide if an Emergency Room visit is needed. We recommend going to the ER if: there is a broken bone or other significant injury.
• Monitor the situation from home. We recommend monitoring the situation from home if: you or your loved one is not bleeding, no major bruising or swelling has occurred, no teeth have been moved or no teeth are significantly mobile.
If you are suffering from severe pain or discomfort don’t hesitate to call us! Our accommodating team will help you schedule an emergency exam as soon as possible. We’re here to help!

"Like a lot of people I don't go to the doctor unless I'm sick, so for the dentist I wasn't doing regular visits and low and behold ended up with cavities. Dr. Tom was super nice and professional, no one in the office made me feel bad about my teeth, they just immediately moved on to the treatment steps. Got my cavities filled and all the jaw pain I had for months was gone by the time the numbing wore off. Super grateful for Dr. Tom and his wonderful staff. Also liked how modern their office was, I didn't realize how old school my old dentist was until I came here - the up to date technology made a big difference."
