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. Okenido is as talented, informative, and knowledgeable as she is considerate, kind, and curious. She explained why she was completing each process, clarified each of her findings, outlined various treatment plans, and was transparent about costs.

Dr. Okinedo’s combination of skills, compassion, and integrity is a rare find among the ocean of dentistry practices today. She never rushes, takes her time to get to know you and your family, assesses your dental healthcare needs, and recommends several options for treatment including ones that may take longer initially but will be better off for the situation in the long-term.
