Marlborough Office

Emergency Dentist in Worcester MA

With cosmetic dentistry, we are able to improve our patients’ lives by giving them beautiful smiles they love to show off. For some patients, this enhancement enables them to gain confidence that helps them in their careers or in their social relationships. 

For other patients, it relieves the discomfort of always feeling like they need to cover their mouths with their hands. When they finally see their new smiles, it can be hard for them to stop smiling! Finally, they love smiling and laughing with their friends. Seeing a patient with a new, nonstop smile is one of the most delightful aspects of our job.

Ouch! Dental emergencies can be miserably painful. What should you do when they arise? Call Union Dental in Worcester right away! The sooner you reach out, the sooner our emergency dentist can help you feel better. Your tooth problems will be in good hands with Dr Tony Tong and our other dental professionals.

What is a Dental Emergency

Tooth emergencies come in all varieties. Toothaches, for example, are emergencies because of how badly they hurt. Other situations are emergencies because they require immediate attention to save the affected teeth.


You may need an emergency dentist for:


  • Chips or cracks in teeth
  • Dry sockets after dental procedures
  • Fillings or crowns that come loose
  • Infections that cause swelling
  • Injuries to the tongue or gums
  • Items lodged between two teeth or under the gums
  • Loose or knocked-out teeth after an injury
  • Intense toothaches or jaw pain


Dr Tong at Union Dental has expertise in dealing with all sorts of emergency cases. Our Worcester team is ready to assist whenever you have a dental emergency.

What to do with a Dental Emergency in Worcester

Calling our office in Worcester is the best way to find out whether you need to be seen right away. Our friendly, reassuring staff will discuss the situation with you and recommend the best solution.


In most cases, we’ll have you come in for an appointment as soon as possible. We can often treat dental problems within a day or two. Some situations even warrant same-day appointments. Our goal is to get you feeling better as quickly as we can.


If you have an emergency that must be addressed immediately, such as a tooth that’s been knocked out, we’ll work with you to create a plan. The health of your teeth is a top priority.


Keep in mind that some dental emergencies can be life-threatening. Seek immediate care if you have oral bleeding that won’t stop or swelling that threatens to cut off your air supply. Your local emergency room can provide life-saving interventions in those situations.

Avoiding Emergencies

Accidents happen, and infections can pop up out of seemingly nowhere. You can’t protect your family from every emergency. However, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk.


First of all, let your dentist know whenever you’re experiencing tooth trouble. Reporting minor discomfort or sensitivity might alert the dentist to a problem that’s developing. Taking care of it right away could spare you a lot of pain and stress down the road.


Also, do what you can to protect your teeth. Wear a mouthguard during athletic activities. Avoid biting on hard objects or using your teeth to open packages. Keep objects off your stairs and floors to reduce the risk of trips and falls.

Beyond Dental Emergencies

Union Dental is your full-service oral care provider. In addition to providing emergency dentist appointments, we also specialize in routine tooth care, cosmetic dentistry and oral surgery. Whether you’re interested in teeth whitening, dental veneers, root canals or dentures, we’re here to help.
