Below are some frequently asked questions about same-day emergency dentistry appointments at our office.
What is a dental emergency?
Dr. Aarti Puri and the team at Newport Smiles define a dental emergency as a situation that arises when you experience severe pain, bleeding, or swelling in your mouth. These situations might require a same-day appointment and the care of an experienced dentist.
What is a same-day emergency dentistry appointment?
A same-day emergency dentistry appointment is an urgent dental visit scheduled for the same day the dental emergency occurs. This type of appointment allows patients at Newport Smiles to receive immediate treatment for their condition instead of waiting for a regular appointment for days or weeks.

Many different situations are considered dental emergencies. These include:
- Severe tooth pain or sensitivity
- A knocked-out tooth
- A broken or cracked tooth
- Bleeding from the mouth
- Abscessed tooth
