Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies can be stressful and even a little frightening. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, oral swelling, or an injury to your smile, you need care you can trust—quickly. At Black Diamond Dental in Pagosa Springs, CO, Dr. Justin Nylund and our team are here to provide prompt emergency dental care. Whenever possible, we do our best to accommodate same-day visits to relieve pain and protect your oral health.

A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate professional attention to prevent further damage or discomfort. Since emergencies are never planned, we encourage you to contact our office right away if you find yourself in need of urgent care. Our team will guide you through what to do until you can be seen.

Common dental emergencies include:

• A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth

• A lost restoration, such as a filling or crown

• Severe or persistent tooth pain

• A tooth that has been partially or fully knocked out

• Injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth (gums, tongue, lips, or cheeks)

If you are experiencing any of these conditions, call our office immediately. We’ll provide instructions to help protect your smile until your appointment. After evaluating your situation, Dr. Justin Nylund will determine the best treatment to restore your comfort and oral health.

If your emergency also involves trauma to your head or neck, we strongly recommend seeking medical attention at an emergency room or with your physician before visiting our office, even if your teeth or mouth have been affected.
