For tooth pain, swelling, broken teeth, lost crowns, or dental problems that should not wait, KYT helps you understand what is happening and what the next step should be.
If it feels urgent, call first. We can usually tell you over the phone how soon to come in.
Seek emergency medical care first if you have trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, swelling spreading into the neck or throat, high fever with facial swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

§ 01 · The real question
Not every dental problem is a true emergency, and not every emergency needs the same response. We help you sort it out fast.
§ 02 · Framework evaluation
Even in an emergency, KYT uses the same evaluation to decide what happens now versus what waits for a follow-up.
Is the tooth cracked, broken, infected, or still restorable?
“Is the tooth still worth saving?”
Is biting pressure making the problem worse or causing the crack?
“What is making this hurt?”
What should be treated now, and what can be evaluated at a follow-up?
“What can wait, and what cannot?”
§ 04 · At the visit
Focused exam of the affected area.
X-rays as clinically needed.
Clear explanation of what was found.
Written diagnosis summary and next-step options.
Treatment when appropriate, or a referral if specialist care is needed.
We will help you sort out how soon you need to come in and what to do in the meantime.
