Dental emergencies do not follow a schedule. A knocked-out tooth, a cracked molar, a spreading infection, or a jaw swollen overnight all require immediate professional attention — not a wait until Monday. Dentcare Now in Fairfax, Virginia is open every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. Walk-ins are always welcome and same-day appointments are available for every emergency dental condition we treat.

Emergency Dental Services at Dentcare Now
We treat the full range of dental emergencies in a single location. Select your condition below to learn more about how we treat it and what to expect at your visit.
- Severe Toothache — Persistent or throbbing tooth pain that does not respond to over-the-counter medication requires same-day evaluation.
- Dental Abscess — A bacterial pocket at the root tip of a tooth causes intense pressure and pain and spreads without treatment.
- Dental Infection — Infections that originate inside a tooth can spread to the jaw, neck, and bloodstream. This is a medical emergency.
- Knocked-Out Tooth — A tooth knocked out completely can often be saved if you reach us within an hour.
- Extruded (Partially Dislodged) Tooth — A tooth pushed out of position but still attached needs immediate repositioning to survive.
- Cracked Tooth Repair — Cracks range from superficial chips to fractures that split the tooth to the root. Treatment depends on severity.
- Chipped Tooth Repair — A chipped tooth can expose sensitive dentin, cause sharp edges, and worsen if left untreated.
- Lost Crown — A lost or broken crown leaves the prepared tooth exposed and vulnerable to damage and decay.
- Lost Filling — A missing filling exposes the cavity and can cause significant pain and accelerated decay.
- Swollen Jaw — Facial or jaw swelling almost always indicates infection. Same-day treatment is essential to prevent spread.
- Broken Braces — Broken wires, loose brackets, or damaged orthodontic appliances can injure soft tissue and disrupt treatment.
- Bleeding Gums — Heavy or persistent gum bleeding — especially after trauma — requires same-day emergency assessment.
- Severe Soft Tissue Injury — Lacerations, punctures, and tears to the lips, cheeks, tongue, or gum tissue require immediate treatment.
