Dental Emergencies in Hutchinson, KS

What to Do When It Can't Wait

If something is wrong — a tooth that's cracked, a pain that woke you up, swelling that wasn't there yesterday — the first thing to do is call us. Don't wait to see if it gets better. Don't talk yourself out of it. Call Cornerstone Family Dental and tell us what's happening. We will find a way to get you seen.

Dental emergencies don't follow a schedule, and we know that. Whether it's a knocked-out tooth, a broken crown, an abscess, or pain that's been building for days and finally became unbearable, we take it seriously. Our team at Cornerstone has been handling urgent dental situations for Hutchinson families since 1993 — so when you call, you're not reaching a stranger. You're reaching people who know what they're doing and will talk you through what comes next.

Not sure if what you're experiencing counts as an emergency? Here are some signs it's time to call right away: severe or worsening tooth pain, visible swelling in your jaw or gums, a tooth that's been knocked out or broken, bleeding that won't stop, or a lost filling or crown that's left a tooth exposed and sensitive. When in doubt, call anyway. We'd always rather hear from you and help you figure it out than have you sitting at home in pain wondering.

When you arrive, we won't rush you through intake and straight to the chair. We'll take a moment to understand what's going on, make sure you're as comfortable as possible, and explain exactly what we're seeing and what your options are — before we do anything. Even in an urgent situation, you are still in charge of what happens next.
