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.

Dr. Okinedo was amazing. I came in with a lot of pain and she was able to see me the same day. She made me feel very comfortable and explained exactly what was going on and what my options were in a way that was easy to understand. I had waited way too long to take care of a tooth after an old crown fell off over a year ago, and the pain was unbearable. She removed the tooth and the relief was immediate. I’m no longer in pain. She was extremely caring, patient, and very transparent about pricing, which I truly appreciated. I’ve never had a dentist be that upfront before. Because of this experience, I’m switching my dental care to MKR Dental moving forward.
