Local anesthetic may be used to numb the treatment area and help minimize discomfort. You may still notice pressure or other sensations depending on the procedure and your individual situation.

Many emergency visits take about 30 to 40 minutes, although the length of your appointment depends on the problem and the treatment needed. More complex dental care may require additional time.

Costs vary depending on the dental problem and procedure required. We review estimated fees and available insurance information before treatment whenever possible so you can understand the expected costs.

For a knocked-out permanent tooth, carefully hold the crown instead of the root and rinse the tooth gently if it is dirty, taking care not to scrub it. If possible, place it back in the socket or keep it moist, such as in milk, and contact our Ellicott City office immediately. Do not try to reinsert a knocked-out baby tooth.
