Emergency Dental Care and Exams

Severe pain or discomfort in the jaw, gums or teeth can often become unbearable. At MKR Dental 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 your child has 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: your child is not bleeding, no major bruising or swelling has occurred, no teeth have been moved or no teeth are significantly mobile.

I cannot recommend Dr. Okinedo highly enough. From the moment I walked into the office, the entire experience was top notch. Her staff, Angela was super friendly, efficient, and genuinely caring from checkin to checkout. They made the whole process smooth and stress free.
Dr. Okinedo herself is an incredible dentist. She is incredibly professional, yet warm and reassuring, making even dental visits feel comfortable. She took the time to listen carefully to my concerns about my teeth, asked detailed questions, and performed a thorough examination without any rush. Her diagnostic approach was meticulous, and she explained everything clearly before providing exactly the treatment my teeth needed. The results have been fantastic,my teeth feel healthier, and my smile is noticeably better.
What impressed me most was her dedication afterward. Even after I left the office, Dr. Okinedo followed up personally to check on my progress and ensure everything was healing well. Combined with her superb staff, this level of care is truly rare.
If you’re looking for a dentist who delivers excellence along with a compassionate team, Dr. Okinedo and her practice are the gold standard. Thank you, Doctor and team, for the outstanding care! Mr Tebo
