Dental emergencies come in many shapes and sizes. At Able Dentistry, we’re equipped to handle a wide range of urgent dental issues for patients of all ages—from children to adults. Here’s a list of some of the most common emergencies we treat:
- Severe toothache or pain affecting daily activities
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth from accidents
- Knocked-out tooth that requires immediate reimplantation
- Lost crown or filling exposing sensitive tooth tissue
- Abscess or infection causing swelling, fever, or drainage
- Soft tissue injuries to gums, lips, or tongue
- Broken dentures or dental appliances

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Contact us immediately or walk in for same-day care—our team is ready to help.
Rinse your mouth gently with warm water to clean the affected area.
Apply a cold compress to your face near the affected area to reduce swelling and ease discomfort.
If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root) and keep it moist in milk or saliva.
Save any broken tooth fragments and bring them with you to your appointment.
Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze to stop any bleeding.
Use over-the-counter pain medications as directed to manage discomfort until you can see us.
Avoid eating on the affected side and stick to soft foods.
If your child is injured, remain calm and reassure them that we’ll take care of them.
What to Expect During Your Emergency Dental Visit

Compassionate Treatment
Once we’ve assessed your needs, we’ll explain your options clearly, ensuring you’re comfortable with the next steps. Whether it’s a filling, extraction, or another procedure, our goal is to make sure you’re relaxed and well taken care of throughout your visit.

Depending on your emergency, we may schedule follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and monitor any necessary treatments. You’ll leave our office with clear instructions for care at home, and our team will be available for any questions you may have.
Meet Dr. Antonela Schroeder
Same-Day Emergency Care
All Ages Welcome
Dr. Antonela Schroeder
Hello, I’m Dr. Antonela Schroeder. I’m so glad to meet you. As a dentist, I see the smile as a window that opens up. I’m here to help you open up your smile to the world and enjoy all the oral health benefits that come along with that.
Why I Chose This Work
I became a dentist because I know what it feels like to be scared of dental care. I grew up in Romania, where numbing wasn’t used for most procedures. That fear stayed with me—until my grandfather, who was a dentist, helped me see how powerful a calm, caring approach could be. He listened. He explained things. He moved slowly. He earned my trust.
That’s how I practice today.
How I Care for You
- I listen first. Your story shapes the plan.
- I explain everything in plain language. No pressure, no surprises.
- I work gently and move at your pace. You’re always in control.
- I connect oral health with whole-body health because they’re linked more than most people think.

Fun Facts
My Treatment Approach
It’s not just about your teeth. It’s about how you feel. When you walk into my office, I want you to feel safe and supported—not rushed or overwhelmed. Here’s what you can expect:
- I listen to your concerns before I ever pick up a mirror.
- I explain what I see and what your options are—no pressure.
- I move at your pace and adjust care based on your comfort.
- I connect the dots between your oral health and overall wellness.
Every person is different. That’s why your treatment plan should fit your needs, your timeline, and your life.
What Shaped My Approach
Fixing the problem starts with finding the cause.
Quick fixes might solve things in the moment, but they don’t always last. I take time to understand the full picture—your bite, your breathing, your posture, even how you sleep. When we treat the root cause, everything else gets easier.
That’s how we build results that actually stick.
Education and Growth
You deserve the latest tools and the gentlest techniques.
I’ve been practicing dentistry for over 25 years, but I never stop learning. I stay up to date with tools and treatments that make care more precise, more comfortable, and more effective. Some of the things I use include:
- Digital imaging (CBCT), lasers, and intraoral scanners
- Invisalign® and facial esthetic services
- Jaw and bite balance therapies
- Biocompatible materials and ozone therapy
- Advanced techniques that support natural healing
I bring what I learn back to Able Dentistry so you get clear guidance and choices that fit your life.
Caring for Kids and Supporting Parents
Fixing the problem starts with finding the cause.
Early checks = fewer problems later on.
Helping kids build good habits early makes a big difference later. I offer growth-focused exams to spot signs like thumb-sucking, narrow arches, or mouth-breathing. These small things can affect sleep, focus, and even confidence.
For most kids, a good time to start is around age 5–8 for girls and up to 6–9 for boys. We’ll keep it simple, supportive, and pressure-free.
What You Can Expect With Me
- I listen before I look
- I explain each step and check in often
- I never push beyond your comfort zone
- I focus on long-term health, not quick fixes
- I’m with you from the first conversation to the final smile
If you want a dentist who treats you like a partner in your health, I’d be honored to care for you at Able Dentistry.
Ongoing Education & Affiliations
Your care deserves more than the basics. That’s why I stay active in professional communities that support clinical growth and patient comfort.
I'm a member of:
- The American Dental Association (ADA)
- The International Association of Orthodontics (IAO)
- The International Dental Implant Association (IDIA)
- A collaborative network within the neuromuscular dentistry community
To expand how I care for both form and function, I also hold certifications in:
- Invisalign®
- Facial esthetics and injectables
These tools help me support your oral health and overall wellness—so you feel as good as you look.
