Emergency Dentistry in Rockville, MD: We Are Here When You Need Us Most
Dental Emergencies Do Not Wait. Neither Do We.
A broken tooth, severe pain, a knocked-out tooth, an infection that will not quit. Dental emergencies are stressful, and they never happen at a convenient time. At Rockville Smile Studio in Rockville, Maryland, we do everything we can to see emergency patients the same day.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, call us immediately. We offer same day emergency appointment.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
- Severe or throbbing tooth pain
- A knocked-out or partially dislodged tooth
- A broken or cracked tooth
- A lost filling or crown
- Signs of infection: swelling, fever, or pus
- Soft tissue injuries
- Dental abscess
When in doubt, call us. We would rather have you check in and find out it can wait than delay care you actually need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it moist in milk. Call us immediately. Time matters.
What if I am in severe pain but it is after hours?
Call our office and follow the after-hours instructions. Dr. Rajan is available for true emergencies outside of regular hours.
Is a lost filling or crown a dental emergency?
It can be. A lost restoration exposes the tooth to bacteria and sensitivity. Call us and we can often see you quickly for a temporary fix.
Can I take pain medication before my appointment?
Over-the-counter pain medication is fine before your visit. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum, as it can cause irritation.
What if I cannot tell if it is an emergency?
Call us and describe what you are experiencing. We will help you determine the right next step.
