Dental emergencies can happen anytime — and when they do, you need a team you can trust. At Nova Dental Care in Mundelein, IL, we provide quick, compassionate emergency dental care to relieve pain, prevent further damage, and save your smile. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a chipped tooth, or an injury, we’re here to help when you need it most.
Emergency dentistry focuses on treating urgent dental problems that can’t wait for a routine visit — such as severe pain, infection, trauma, or bleeding. Our goal is to relieve your discomfort, protect your teeth, and prevent long-term complications.
Common emergency treatments may include:
Knocked-Out Tooth
If a permanent tooth gets knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root) and rinse it gently with milk or saliva — never water. Try to place it back in its socket if possible, or keep it moist in milk or in your cheek while you contact us immediately. Quick action gives you the best chance of saving the tooth.
If your child loses a baby tooth from an injury, call us to schedule a checkup. We’ll ensure the surrounding teeth and gums are healthy and that future tooth development isn’t affected.
Severe Toothache
Persistent or throbbing pain can indicate infection, decay, or an abscess. We’ll identify the cause, relieve your pain, and treat the underlying issue to prevent it from worsening.
Broken or Fractured Jaw
In the event of a jaw injury, we’ll take diagnostic images to assess the damage and, if necessary, coordinate with an oral surgeon for further treatment or stabilization.
Head or Facial Trauma
If you’ve suffered a severe blow to the head, seek emergency medical attention first. Once cleared, our team can evaluate your mouth and jaw for dental injuries or fractures.
At Nova Dental Care, we know that dental emergencies can be stressful — and they never happen at convenient times. Our team provides calm, supportive care to help you feel comfortable and confident from the moment you call.
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency in Mundelein, contact Nova Dental Care right away for immediate, gentle, and professional treatment.
If you’re experiencing sharp, throbbing, or persistent tooth pain, call Nova Dental Care in Mundelein right away. We offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. In the meantime, rinse with warm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on your gums or tooth, as it can irritate the tissue.
Toothaches can be caused by cavities, cracked teeth, infections, gum disease, or trauma. Sometimes
food gets lodged under the gums and causes irritation. Our dentist will perform a quick exam and digital
X-rays to identify the cause and relieve your pain as soon as possible.
Yes! We always do our best to accommodate walk-ins and same-day emergencies. Calling ahead helps us prepare a room and get you seated faster, but if you’re in severe pain or dealing with swelling, just
come straight in — we’ll take care of you.
You should contact us immediately if you have severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth,
bleeding that won’t stop, facial swelling, or an abscess. These situations can worsen quickly, so it’s
important to get care right away to prevent infection or further damage.
You can take over-the-counter pain relievers, rinse your mouth with warm salt water, and use a cold
compress to reduce swelling. Try to avoid chewing on the affected side. Most importantly, don’t delay —
pain relief at home is temporary, and we can fix the problem safely here at Nova Dental Care.
Because we’re quick, compassionate, and local. We know that dental pain can’t wait, so we prioritize
emergency visits and treat every patient with care and urgency. Patients from Mundelein, Libertyville,
Vernon Hills, and all across Lake County rely on us for fast relief and lasting solutions when emergencies
happen.
Our philosophy for dentistry is simple and straightforward. We aim to provide care that is in your best interest. This means we are transparent and non judgemental, kind and empathetic. We have multiple specialists in house as we feel that this is the best way to provide comprehensive care to our patients.
Our office is relaxing and spa-like because let’s face it, no one loves going to the dentist. We’re trying to change that by providing a soothing environment for oral care.
