First visit at TEND Navy Yard and I was blown away from the experience. You’re greeted on site by a friendly receptionist and met with a beautiful modern lounge. You receive a gift for your inaugural visit which was a nice surprise and there’s an app to follow appointments and visit notes. In closing, I was sent to the back in a timely manner by 9:30a which was my appointment, the monitor screen was very personal and welcoming. The orthodontist was extremely friendly and answered all my questions, I look forward to my next visit. I found my new home.

I have been going to Tend Navy Yard since 2021. They set me up with an incredible treatment plan that has allowed me to progress through all the procedures that I needed. My latest treatment earlier this year with Dr. Cevallos and Alexa was perfect. The care and attention to detail made all the difference. All the scheduling and insurance admins for my visits have been done without issues. A very professional and friendly group at Tend! This photo is from my visit last Sept 2024.

Not everything qualifies as a dental emergency. Some issues, like a chipped tooth without pain or blood, may seem like a dental emergency but do not necessarily require same-day urgent care. Depending on your issue, you may be able to wait a few days before seeing a dentist. However, for other issues like a broken or lost tooth, you should seek out emergency care.

The best way to tell if you require emergency dental care is to call our office.

Some issues don't require urgent care. However, if you call our emergency dental hotline and we do recommend care, it is best to schedule a visit as soon as possible.

Avoiding emergency dental care for some issues may result in further deterioration of your condition and even tooth loss. In some cases, infections may spread to other parts of the body which can even result in hospitalization.

Our team of dentists and oral surgeons are prepared for almost any dental emergency. We cover things like tooth pain, toothaches, chipped tooth, broken tooth, knocked out tooth, extractions, implants, crowns, cavities, loose fillings, and more!

There are many different causes of tooth pain. Depending on the cause, you may require immediate emergency care.

Some toothaches are caused by what is called an abscess. An abscess is an infection of the tooth resulting in pus either at the gums or base of the tooth. Abscesses can result in severe tooth pain which may even radiate to the ear and neck. With the case of an abscess, you will require emergency dental care. Failing to seek out urgent care can result in infection spread and fever. To treat an abscess, a dentist would drain the site of infection and prescribe antibiotics.

Some toothaches are caused by cracked teeth. Cracked teeth can appear as hairline cracks. Without attention, cracked teeth can progress into larger cracks which may result in potential tooth loss.
