We’re Here When You Need Us to Repair Your Smile

Generally speaking, anytime you're in pain, it's an emergency. Below are some common situations that require emergency dental care:

  • Your tooth has been broken or knocked out.
  • Your tooth has fallen out for no apparent reason. This may indicate advanced gum disease.
  • You have a soft tissue injury such as a cut to your tongue, lip, cheek, or gums.
  • A dental restoration such as a crown or bridge has been damaged or loosened.
  • You experience severe dental pain, especially when chewing.
  • Your mouth is bleeding and it doesn't stop within a reasonable amount of time. If the bleeding is severe, you should go directly to the emergency room.

If you're experiencing any of the above situations, carefully follow these instructions:

  • Call our office as soon as possible. We will work hard to see you the same day if at all possible.
  • Stabilize any loose teeth. If a tooth has been knocked loose, gently push it back into place. Don't apply excessive pressure, as doing so may cause additional damage or pain.
  • Don't touch the root of the tooth. If your tooth has been detached from your gums completely, be careful to pick it up by the crown (visible white part). We may be able to place the tooth back in your mouth, but only if the roots are not damaged and you see us in time. Put the tooth into a small container of milk or saline and bring it to the office with you.
  • Follow any instructions our office gives you. When you talk to a member of our team, they will likely give you steps to take until you see Dr. Murmann.

This is my first time with the Murmann dental health. The whole team is very caring and taking the time to attend their patient, my hygienist was very friendly and helpful and did the cleaning very nicely. And, the Dr was very specifically checked each and every thing on my paper work which I haven't experienced in my previous and prior dentists. I am very much pleased with my appointment, and the dentist I got. Thank you so much Dr. Murmann! And I should thank my periodontist to recommending Dr.Murmann.

Going to the dentist has never been one of my favorite things, but this office truly makes the experience so much better. The front desk staff are warm and friendly. Dr. Murmann is kind, professional, and helps put me more at ease — even with my dental anxiety. She's patient, understanding, and really great with nervous patients. And I have to say — her hygienist Diana is the best! Gentle, thorough, and always so friendly. I don't dread my appointments quite as much as I used to. Highly recommend!

I was referred by a family friend so this was my first visit. I had a broken tooth and another was cracked. I was in some pain. Michelle at the front desk scheduled an appointment for the next business day. Dr Murmann is extremely skilled and very personable. Kayla her assistant was also extremely attentive and competent. They managed my pain and fixed my teeth in the first visit. I have some follow up that will be required but Dr Murmann laid out all my options to consider. Really excellent people and so good at what they do. My mouth went from a pain level of 7-8 to no pain one day later.

Our family has been seeing Dr. Murmann for over 10 years now and we all love her!! From the time you walk in until you leave everyone is very attentive to making sure you feel welcome. I feel like they do their best to make going to the dentist as painless as possible. They are also really good at taking care of the insurance and sending in estimates so you know what you'll be paying. I can't recommend her highly enough!!

Our entire family goes to Murmann. Our kids (3-8 yo) are very comfortable there. They look forward to going back. I love that Dr. Murmann is very detailed and takes time to make sure everything feels right. We appreciate the entire staff there!

My family has been going to Dr. Murmann for 15 years. We moved 40 miles away and decided - why change from the best? I never liked the dentist, I love Murmann Dental Health. I highly recommend!

I have been a patient of Dr. Murmann for almost 15 years. The care and quality from her and her staff is unmatched. A few years ago I had to switch to a different dentist due to insurance issues, and havent been able to find anyone with the same quality. Most people dread going to the dentist. I would look forward to it. Over the weekend I broke my front tooth and was expecting it to be pulled. I called up her office (it had been several years) bawling my eyes out, willing to pay out of pocket, because I knew she would be able to help. Even if the damage was too severe, she would be able to guide me with the next steps. She got me in the next morning and was able to save my tooth! I cant thank her enough. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I was lucky enough to say that about my previous dentist as well and when he retired i hunted on Reddit for recommendations and found Murmann! 30 minutes after my cleaning, I recommended Dr. Murmann ( and Gina.. the most gentle hygenist I've ever experienced) to a woman in line at Homegoods next door to the office. Highly recommend this dentist who i also love because she STILL MASKS!! Bravo for understanding airborne viruses!!
