What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency can be any situation that requires immediate attention from a dental professional. Some common examples of dental emergencies include:

  • Severe toothache
  • Knocked-out tooth
  • Chipped or broken tooth
  • Lost filling or crown
  • Abscess or infection
  • Soft tissue injury (e.g. bitten tongue or lip)

It’s important to seek emergency dental care in the case of any of the above, or any other condition that is causing you pain or discomfort. Ignoring a dental emergency can lead to further damage and potentially, the loss of a tooth.

I have been going to Brentwood Family Dentistry for the past three years - after having gone to a different dental practice for more than 30 years. I am very glad that I switched - from the dentists, to the hygienists, to the office staff - everyone I have encountered has been wonderful. I highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Doherty has been the dentist for myself and my twin boys for the past few years and I cannot say enough positive things about them, their office, and everything else. The office is warm, friendly, and the service is exceptional.

I was referred here by a co worker after having avoided going to the dentist for 5 years and this was by far the best experience I've ever had. The hygienist Ariana made me feel so comfortable and walked me through everything. The doctor was the same. Highly recommend if you are looking for a new dentist.

If I could give Brentwood Family Dentistry 10 stars, I would! And an extra 10 for Dr. Dan Doherty, who I am lucky to call my dentist. He brings calmness while still explaining things thoroughly; always maintaining a positive outlook regarding options and a care plan. He doesn’t settle for less than 100% satisfaction and that begins the moment you step into his office.

I hadn’t been to a dentist in years, went to one 2 years ago because they had “gas” for nervous patients. It was ok. Then I met the staff at Brentwood Dentistry and they did not use anything but patients, skill & compassion. I finally got the crown I needed for years. They saved my tooth and now I am completely pain free from the day it was put on!!!

Dr. Daniel Doherty is my new dentist, I am happy and thankful to say! I learned first-hand yesterday that he is a brilliant dentist and a truly kind person. I firmly believe you will not meet a finer gentleman, nor a better dentist. It's obvious that he cares about his patients. He painlessly prepared my broken tooth, and made me a perfectly fitted crown, in my first visit, all within 90 minutes from start to finish. Dr. Daniel Doherty makes perfectly fitted crowns in-house. Very few dentists can do that. He employs the highest state of the art technology, and I actually watched him make my crown. I was pleasantly surprised that his prices are extremely reasonable. He and his staff are so friendly and helpful. I am so impressed and grateful to my new dentist, Dr. Daniel Doherty! 😀

Was referred by a friend, took my 6 year old yesterday for his first dental visit. They were absolutely phenomenal. It's a father and 2 sons who are the dentists, both sons have young children and were EXCELLENT with my little guy. He came out feeling like a champ. I HIGHLY recommend them for kids and adults. Very organized, everyone was extremely friendly, they were on time and it didn't take long at all. We will be patients for life.
