Welcoming New Patients & Emergencies!
Fast, Caring Relief When You Need It Most
A dental emergency rarely happens at a convenient time, and waiting can turn a manageable problem into a much bigger one. At Anderson Dental Group in Payson, AZ, we reserve time for same-week and urgent appointments, so you can get relief from pain and protect your smile without unnecessary delay.
Whether you are dealing with sudden, severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, or a crown that has come loose, our team understands how stressful these situations can feel. We focus on getting you seen quickly, calming your pain, and walking you through your treatment options in a way that feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Dental emergencies can take many forms, and knowing what qualifies as urgent can help you decide how quickly to seek care. We treat a wide range of dental emergencies, including:
- Severe or persistent toothache
- Knocked-out or partially dislodged teeth
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Lost or broken crowns, fillings, or bridges
- Object caught between teeth causing pain or swelling
- Injuries to the lips, gums, or soft tissue inside the mouth
- Signs of infection, such as facial swelling or a visible abscess
If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, it is always better to call and ask than to wait and risk further damage.
What to Do Before You Reach Us
How you handle the first few minutes after a dental injury can make a real difference in the outcome. If a tooth has been knocked out, pick it up by the crown rather than the root, gently rinse it without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket or store it in milk until you arrive. For a cracked or chipped tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. For a toothache, rinse with warm water and use dental floss to check for any trapped debris, but avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum or tooth, as this can cause tissue damage. Contact our office right away so we can advise you further and get you in as quickly as possible.
What Happens During Your Emergency Visit
Emergency visits are focused on getting you comfortable and addressing the underlying problem as efficiently as possible. Here is what to expect:
