Before you schedule
Common questions about symptoms, timing, cost, and what to expect at your visit.
How do I know if a cracked tooth is serious?
Pain when biting, cold sensitivity, a visible crack, a loose piece, swelling, or a sharp edge should be checked quickly. Some cracks are deeper than they look.
Can a cracked tooth be fixed with a filling?
Sometimes. Small chips or limited fractures may need bonding or a filling, while larger cracks often need a crown, root canal treatment, or extraction if the fracture is too deep.
Should I call a dentist or go to the emergency room for tooth pain?
A dentist is usually the right place for tooth pain, broken teeth, lost crowns, or dental infections because the source is in the tooth or gums. Go to the emergency room or call emergency services if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, severe facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, major trauma, or you feel seriously ill.
Can Brightly Dental see dental emergencies the same day?
Brightly Dental offers same-day help when appointments are available, with offices serving Parker West and Lafayette and extended hours Monday through Saturday. Call, text, book online, or use the Treatment Finder if you are unsure how urgent your symptoms are.
How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
The first step is usually a focused exam and X-rays. Treatment cost depends on the diagnosis, whether the tooth needs a filling, crown, root canal, extraction, medication, or another service, and what insurance or financing applies. The office reviews options before treatment begins.
When to call today

What happens at your visit

Call today if the tooth hurts or keeps breaking
Pain when biting, strong hot or cold sensitivity, swelling, bleeding, a sharp edge, or a tooth that split should be checked promptly.
If a tooth was knocked out, hold it by the crown rather than the root and call the office immediately.
How a broken tooth may be treated
The dentist checks the depth and location of the break and whether the nerve or root is involved.
Treatment may include smoothing, bonding, a filling, crown, root canal, extraction, or temporary protection while a final restoration is made.
Protect the tooth before your visit
Avoid chewing on that side and bring any broken piece or loose crown with you. Do not use household glue on a tooth or restoration.
Call or text Parker West or Lafayette if pain, swelling, or damage is getting worse.
