Frequently Asked Questions

Any dental issue causing severe pain, bleeding, swelling, or tooth loss requires immediate care.

No. Waiting can lead to infection or permanent tooth loss. Always call for emergency care.

If you have swelling that makes it difficult to swallow, breathe, or see. Yes, you should go to the emergency room.

See the dentist as soon as possible. Time is of the essence. Gently rinse the tooth and place back in the socket if you can, even backwards is ok. If you can’t do that, place in milk. If you can’t do that put in your mouth between your cheek and gum.

Many plans provide partial coverage. Legacy Dental also offers payment options for uninsured patients.

Most patients feel normal within a few days, depending on the treatment type.

Contact us immediately if pain persists or worsens after a few days.

Avoid eating on the treated side for a short period. Soft foods are recommended initially.

Maintain good oral hygiene, wear mouthguards if you grind your teeth, and attend regular checkups.

Alternatives to Emergency Dental Care

I’ve had a fairly intense dental phobia for most of my life, that combined with years of addiction and severe depression really took a toll on my mouth and on my smile. Years ago I started the process of getting dentures with a different dentist and I had such a bad experience that I never wanted to set foot in another dental office again. Then last year when my remaining teeth started to fail, I reached out to Legacy Dental after seeing an add. At my first appointment Dr. H and his staff immediately put me at ease, there was no judgment and it was clear that they knew what they were doing. Throughout the entire process they were professional and they were friendly, and they took really good care of me.
Now here I am seven months later and I have my smile back, for the first time that I can remember I can smile confidently, and I can eat normally. And I owe it all to Legacy dental and the wonderful care that they provided.

Recently visited Legacy Dental with a dental emergency. The team got me in same day and the staff was both courteous and professional. The doctor quickly assessed the issue and took me through my options in detail. The staff then helped arrange a follow up meeting with a partner clinic to treat my issue before I left. Thank you so much Legacy team, a very memorable and positive experience.

If you are one of those individuals who are apprehensive about dental procedures like me, this is the best place for you because Dr. Behlke is an incredible Dentist. He replaced several of my old fillings with precision care and my teeth look beautiful. Another plus I really liked is how the office is professional and easy to find.

I went in for Wisdom tooth pain. They had a last minute cancel and I got in there, same day! Which I was extremely thankful for cuz of the intense pain I was experiencing. I was in and out of there, WITH them being able to do the extraction, and X-ray in less than an hour! They were awesome! And! It was a fraction of the cost of what other offices were charging for the procedure. Especially cuz I don’t have insurance. Amazing staff, excellent dentist! 100/100 for me.
