Step-by-Step

Step 1: Recognizing a Dental Emergency

A dental emergency can involve a severe toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling, infection, or injury to your gums or jaw. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, it is important to contact a local dentist in Chaska immediately. Prompt care can prevent more serious problems.

If you need urgent dental care, call Chaska Family Dental right away. Our team keeps time open in our daily schedule specifically for emergencies. We do our best to provide same-day or next-day care for patients in the Chaska area.

Step 3: Explain Your Symptoms

When you call, our front desk will ask you a few important questions about your symptoms. This helps us prepare for your visit and offer instructions on what to do until you arrive at our Chaska dental office.
