When you need dental care right away
A dental emergency is stressful, and it is often painful. You may be worried about a knocked-out tooth, a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or an injury to your mouth. You do not have to figure it out alone. Desert Willow Dental offers emergency dental care in Glendale, AZ, and our team is ready to listen.
Call the office right away, tell us what happened, and we will do our best to see you promptly. Dr. Russell Crane and Dr. Amanda Pharo are experienced in handling urgent dental situations and will guide you through each step with care.
Common dental emergencies we can help with
Not every dental problem looks the same, and some are more urgent than others. You can call us about concerns like these:
- Severe or persistent toothache
- Knocked-out or loosened tooth
- Cracked or broken tooth
- Lost filling or crown
- Abscess or swelling in the mouth
- Injury to the gums or soft tissue
Please call the office first. That way we can advise you and prepare for your arrival. Some emergencies need prompt attention, while others can be managed with guidance until your appointment. Our team will help you understand which applies to you.

What to do before you reach our office
These steps can help protect your tooth and ease discomfort until you see us. Always call the office first for guidance.
- Knocked-out tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently without scrubbing. If you can, place it back in the socket. If not, store it in milk. Get to us quickly.
- Cracked tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water. Hold a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to help with swelling.
- Severe pain: Over-the-counter pain relief may help for a short time. Follow the label directions. Do not place aspirin directly on your gums, since it can irritate the tissue.
If you have trouble breathing, a possible broken jaw, or bleeding that will not stop, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.

Restoring your smile after an emergency
Once the immediate concern is addressed, your dentist will talk with you about next steps. Depending on your situation, treatment may include a dental crown, a dental filling, or root canal therapy. In some cases, it may include a tooth extraction.
Our goal is to preserve your natural tooth whenever possible and to create a clear plan for your recovery. We will explain your options in plain language and answer your questions before you move forward.
