Accidental Damage to Teeth
It is actually fairly common for teeth to become damaged in an accident. This can happen due to a standard car accident, workplace injury, sports accident, etc. This applies to both kids and adults. Kids with school or neighborhood activities (roughhousing with the boys). Here is just a sample of typical tooth damage that can occur from casual everyday events that may require emergency dental Kennewick, WA.
- Tooth knocked out
- A broken or chipped tooth
- A fractured (cracked) tooth
- An extruded (partially knocked out) tooth
- A lost filling or crown
If one of these has happened to you, please contact our office and advise us of your dental emergency.
Toothache and Dental Pain
Honestly, is there anything worse than a throbbing toothache? It’s the kind of pain you cannot hide from.
Typically, these toothaches are caused by severe infection or severe tooth decay issues, and the pain can be debilitating. However, there are typically warning signs that develop before the pain becomes severe. Signs include discomfort when biting down, sensitivity to heat or cold, irritation when brushing or flossing, etc. If you sense any of these things, we encourage you to call (509) 581-0081 and schedule an appointment for a dental exam.
However, if you are experiencing severe tooth pain today, we can help you. If it is an infected tooth, we may need to perform a root canal to remove the infected pulp, and seal your tooth. Depending on which tooth it is, you may also need to restore the tooth with a dental crown.
Regardless of why, we can make your toothache stop, and help ensure you do not have to go through that discomfort again.
Southridge Dental is happy to serve you if you are having a dental emergency – whether you are a new or existing patient.
We understand what you are going through and are more than happy to accommodate your needs.
In most cases, the practice can accommodate walk-in or same-day appointments if you call.
There will be times when next day appointments are occasionally necessary. We do our best to take care of all dental emergencies in a very timely manner.

From the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out, you will be treated so kindly! The receptionist is outgoing and friendly and will offer you treats like coffee, water, tea, juice and other assorted treats. The hygienist will offer you a choice of a warm neck roll, paraffin hand wax treatment, a warm blanket to name a few. Dr Simper will put you at ease and takes a lot in account regarding your individual treatment plan. You can tell that everyone who works here, loves their job!

I've been there for cleanings, dental work and even used their afterhours emergency line. Hands down the best dentist in TC.
