For Urgent Tooth Pain, Swelling, & Surgical Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies are stressful, disruptive, and often painful. When you are experiencing a severe dental issue, you need care, and you need it now. At our practice in Kailua-Kona, we prioritize urgent cases and offer same-day emergency dental services for patients across the Big Island. As a surgical specialist, Dr. Sasan Garakani is uniquely equipped to handle complex dental emergencies involving severe pain, infection, and trauma.

If you are in pain, do not wait. Call our office immediately at (808) 329.0080.

When to Seek Emergency Periodontal Care

While some dental issues can wait, certain symptoms require immediate attention to alleviate pain, prevent the spread of infection, and save your oral health. Please call us right away if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Severe, persistent, or throbbing toothache that is not relieved by pain medication.

• Swelling in your gums, jaw, or face.

• A visible pimple or “gum boil” on your gums, which is a sign of a dental abscess.

• A tooth that has been broken or fractured, especially if it is broken below the gum line.

• A traumatic injury to your mouth, teeth, or jaw.

• An adult tooth that has become loose or has been knocked out.

• Uncontrolled bleeding following a recent dental procedure.

Our Emergency Dental Services on the Big Island

Our practice is focused on providing immediate relief for urgent surgical and periodontal issues. Our primary goal is to get you out of pain and address the root cause of your emergency on the same day you call.

Emergency Surgical Tooth Extractions

Severe tooth pain is often caused by a deep infection that cannot be saved. We are experts in emergency tooth extractions in Kailua-Kona. We can perform a gentle, comfortable, and immediate extraction—including for wisdom teeth—to remove the source of infection and provide instant relief.

Dental Abscess Treatment

A dental abscess is a dangerous infection that requires immediate care. We will provide urgent dental care for your abscess by draining the infection to relieve the painful pressure and prescribing the necessary antibiotics to control its spread.

Management of Dental Trauma

If you have sustained an injury to your mouth, Dr. Garakani can assess the damage to the supporting structures of your teeth, stabilize loose teeth when possible, and provide the necessary surgical care.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency: A Simple Guide

1. Call Our Office Immediately: This is the most important step. Our team will listen to your symptoms and provide instructions on what to do next, arranging a time for you to be seen as soon as possible.

2. Manage Pain: If you are able, take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.

3. Reduce Swelling: Apply a cold compress or ice pack to the outside of your cheek for 15-20 minutes at a time to help reduce swelling and numb the pain.
