Emergency Dental Care

A toothache, a broken tooth, or a lost filling: call us first.

A dental emergency can happen to anyone, at any age. A toothache, a cracked or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown: call us as soon as you can during office hours. We will ask what is going on and work to see you as soon as possible.

Tooth pain is often a sign of a problem that will not go away on its own, such as a cavity, a crack, or an infection. Getting care early can ease the pain sooner and may help save the tooth.

At your visit, Dr. Motson examines the tooth and takes digital x-rays to find the cause. She explains what she sees and talks through your treatment options before anything is done.

If you live in Portage or the Kalamazoo area and need an emergency dentist, call West Milham Dental at (269) 381-0564. We’re welcoming new patients and ready to respond quickly when your teeth need us most.

How we can help

  • Toothaches

    We look for what is causing it and talk through the treatment you need.

  • Broken or chipped teeth

    Bonding, a filling, or a crown, depending on how much of the tooth is affected.

  • Lost fillings and crowns

    We check the tooth and repair it with a new filling or crown.

    When a tooth cannot be saved, we remove it.
