About Emergency Dentist of Portland

Emergency Dentist of Portland provides dental care on Southeast 122nd Avenue in the Mill Park area of Portland, Oregon. Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
Pick the tooth up by the crown rather than the root, rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If that is not possible, keep it in milk and get to a dentist quickly — the chances of saving it drop sharply after the first hour.
Can I go to the ER for a toothache?
An emergency room can manage pain and treat a spreading infection, but hospitals are generally not equipped to carry out dental treatment, so you will usually be stabilised and referred on. For the actual repair, a dental practice is the right place to go.
What happens during a routine dental examination?
The dentist checks the teeth for decay, examines the gums, looks at any existing fillings and crowns, and screens the soft tissues. X-rays are taken when there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth.

Called About an emergency situation and the lady on the phone although seemed nice kept putting up road blocks and sounded as if since I wasn't a patient couldn't afford to go there. And wasn't wanted there. Felt very off putting and discouraging. Didn't offer any dentist alternatives or any help what so ever.

I have no words to express how satisfied and grateful I am with the professional and kind work of all the staff who attended to me. The dentist has hands blessed by God; he extracted a tooth, and it was all quick and painless. And importantly, if you don't have health insurance, you can pay in cash. Satisfied patient! 🤗🤗

I came here with my boyfriend as he needed an emergency molar extraction done on both sides. They managed to fit us into their schedule on a holiday weekend and did an excellent job helping him through the process and completed the procedure in an extremely professional and courteous manner. I believe we saw Dr.Seoung. Super nice clinic.

Absolutely amazing! Even with the doc being a Packers fan(I’m a Bears fan) the whole team was great. The asst. was kind a knew what she was talking about. The doc really made sure I wasn’t in any pain while doing my extraction. Nasty root canal gone bad. I’m going here for all my dental needs. Please go here!!

I've been taking my daughter here for quite some time and am very happy with the results! Not only are they open on Saturdays, which is a huge plus for people with busy schedules, but the work done by Dr. John Lee is outstanding. He goes to great lengths to make sure my daughter is comfortable and not in any pain (her teeth are very sensitive), and takes the extra steps to explain good teeth care. His hygienist is fantastic...goes the extra mile in everything she does. The staff are wonderful! I recommend this dentist to my friends and family, hands down.

Dr. Lee is an excellent and friendly dentist. My mom has been seeing him for over the last seven years (or more?) and he has always done a great job in addressing her concerns and needs, whether it be about oral discomfort/pain or insurance coverage. Because he has done such a great job with providing oral care for her, I decided to make him my dentist as well and have not been disappointed. The office also has a multilingual staff, thus communication barriers are alleviated. Overall, the staff is friendly and competent and we always have a positive experience there!
