Dental emergencies never announce themselves. When sudden tooth pain strikes or an accident damages your smile, you need immediate, compassionate care from a team you can trust. At David Eskow, DDS Family Dentistry, we know the urgency and anxiety that comes with emergency situations, which is why we prioritize getting you out of pain and back to your daily life as quickly as possible.
Our Olney restorative dental practice has served families throughout Montgomery County for years, earning recognition as a Washingtonian Top Dentist in 2021, 2023, and 2025. When you’re facing a dental crisis, you deserve care from experienced professionals who treat you like family, not just another appointment.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
The following are the most common dental emergencies we see:
Severe Toothaches
Intense tooth pain can indicate serious underlying issues that require prompt attention. Whether caused by deep decay, infection, or nerve damage, we’ll diagnose the source of your discomfort and provide immediate relief. Our approach ensures you get the care you need without added stress during an already difficult time.
Knocked-Out Teeth
Time is critical when handling a knocked-out tooth. The American Dental Association recommends keeping the tooth moist and seeing a dentist immediately. Our team can often save and reimplant teeth when patients act quickly, preserving their natural smile.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
Accidents happen, whether from sports injuries, falls, or biting down on something hard. We use advanced techniques to restore damaged teeth, from minor chips to significant fractures. Our goal is to save as much of your tooth structure as possible while eliminating pain and restoring function.
Lost Fillings or Crowns
When restorations fail, they leave teeth vulnerable to further damage and sensitivity. We’ll assess the situation and provide same-day solutions whenever possible, protecting your tooth from additional harm.
What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit
Your comfort and swift treatment are our top priorities during emergency appointments. Upon arrival, we’ll immediately assess your condition and take any necessary X-rays to understand the full extent of the problem. We explain every finding in clear, simple terms so you understand your options.
Pain management comes first. We’ll ensure you’re comfortable before beginning any treatment, using gentle techniques and effective anesthesia. We listen to your concerns and answer questions, even during urgent situations.
Treatment plans are customized to your needs and circumstances. We’ll discuss immediate solutions to address the emergency and any follow-up care needed to ensure lasting oral health. Our transparent approach means you’ll know exactly what to expect, with no surprises.

Preventing Future Emergencies
While we’re always here when emergencies strike, prevention remains the best medicine. Regular checkups allow us to catch small problems before they become painful emergencies. We’ll also discuss protective options, such as custom mouthguards for athletes or nightguards for those who grind their teeth.

- Schedule cleanings and exams every six months
- Wear protective gear during sports activities
- Address minor dental issues before they escalate
