Dental emergencies can happen at any time. Ignoring them can lead to infections, inflammation, or trauma in the mouth that can quickly impact your overall health.

For a small monthly fee, your dental cleanings, exams, and X-rays are covered. Plus, you’ll receive a discount on your other needed treatments.
General dentistry includes preventive services like cleanings, exams, and screenings that help maintain a healthy smile and support whole-body wellness. At Bridgetown Dental, Dr. Kaady takes a broader view of care, looking for signs of airway restriction, inflammation, clenching, or other early indicators of systemic health concerns. Regular general care helps prevent complex problems and keeps your smile and body in better balance.
When you visit us for an emergency, our first priority is to relieve your discomfort and protect your oral health. Dr. Kaady will assess the source of the problem and recommend a solution. He will address both immediate symptoms and long-term stability. We also offer safe sedation options if you feel anxious, so you can stay calm and comfortable throughout your care.
While not every dental emergency can be anticipated, many can be prevented with proactive care. Daily brushing and flossing, combined with regular professional cleanings and exams, greatly reduce your risk of infections, gum disease, and decay. Dr. Kaady can also explore how your diet can help strengthen your oral health and prevent future problems.
Yes. We make every effort to see dental emergencies the same day. If you’re in pain or have suffered dental trauma, call (503) 755-9407 right away and our team will get you in as quickly as possible for relief.
Dental emergencies include severe or persistent tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, significant swelling, a dental abscess, uncontrolled bleeding, or a lost filling or crown causing pain. When in doubt, call us — we’ll help you decide what to do.
Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it, and try to place it back in the socket. If you can’t, keep it in milk or saliva and get to us immediately — a knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved within the first hour.
Rinse with warm salt water, gently floss to remove any trapped debris, and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for swelling. These are temporary measures — call us for prompt care.
An emergency exam is often relatively affordable, but the total cost depends on the treatment needed to resolve the problem. We’ll assess the situation, explain your options and pricing clearly, and offer financing so you can get immediate relief.
We do our best to accommodate urgent situations. Calling ahead at (503) 755-9407 helps us prepare and see you faster, but if you’re experiencing a dental emergency, reach out right away and we’ll guide you on next steps.
