Same-Day Priority Scheduling Available. We hold emergency slots daily for patients in pain. Three dentists, English & French spoken, and federal-employee plans accepted. Call now — we'll see you today.
If you're experiencing any of the following, call Allegra Dental Center right away. The faster we see you, the more options we have to save your tooth and relieve your pain.
Persistent or throbbing pain is a sign something is wrong — don't try to ride it out. We'll find the cause and get you relief.
A tooth that's been knocked out can sometimes be saved if you act fast. Call us immediately for instructions on the way in.
Even small chips can expose the nerve and lead to infection. Prompt treatment prevents bigger problems down the road.
An abscess is a serious infection that won't resolve on its own. It needs urgent treatment — don't delay.
A lost crown or filling exposes sensitive tooth structure. We'll re-cement or replace it quickly to protect the tooth.
Bleeding gums that don't stop within 10–15 minutes — or bleeding after extraction — should be evaluated promptly.
A loose adult tooth can often be saved — but only with prompt, professional emergency treatment.
Facial or jaw swelling can indicate infection that may spread. Don't wait — call us right away.
Any injury to the teeth, gums, lips, or jaw deserves a same-day evaluation. We'll make sure nothing is missed.

CALL (571) 419-6897From acute pain relief to complete tooth replacement, our three-dentist team handles the full range of dental emergencies in our Fairfax office.

We restore decayed or broken teeth to full function. Many emergencies need restoration after the urgent issue is addressed.
Lost a tooth or had one extracted? Our team offers multiple permanent replacement options, including dental implants — the gold standard.
Once your emergency is resolved, we can help restore the look of your smile — from a chipped front tooth to a full smile makeover.

When you walk in with a dental emergency, you're cared for by experienced clinicians who know how to listen, diagnose, and treat — calmly and decisively.
Dr. Dickson founded Allegra Dental Center around a clear idea: every dental experience should be positive — especially the urgent ones. After graduating from Howard University and completing her residency at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in D.C., she's spent over a decade making anxious and emergency patients feel safe. Bilingual in English and French.
Call for Emergency
Dr. Floyd brings Harvard-trained expertise to every emergency. Her DMD is from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry, followed by a general practice residency at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Her training emphasized a multidisciplinary approach — particularly valuable when emergencies involve medically complex patients, children, or individuals with special needs.
Call for Emergency
A Northern Virginia native, Dr. Henderson holds her DDS from Virginia Commonwealth University and completed her general practice residency at Harlem Hospital in New York — one of the most competitive programs, specifically built around treating more complicated cases. She brings that complex-case experience directly to Allegra's emergency patients.

When you're in pain, you want to know you're in good hands. Here's what people who came to us in a dental emergency have said.
"Woke up with a horrible toothache and called Allegra at 7am. They squeezed me in by 9. Dr. Dickson diagnosed it quickly, explained everything calmly, and started treatment that same visit. The pain was gone by lunchtime."
"My son broke a tooth playing soccer on a Friday afternoon. Dr. Floyd saw us within two hours — handled the emergency beautifully and was so gentle with my son. The whole team made what could have been a nightmare totally manageable."
"I had bad dental anxiety and put off treatment for years — then an abscess hit. Dr. Henderson was so patient and explained every step without judgment. The In-House Savings Plan made it affordable since I'm between jobs. Genuinely life-changing."
We hold emergency slots daily. The sooner you call, the sooner Dr. Dickson, Dr. Floyd, or Dr. Henderson can get you out of pain. Calm, expert care from start to finish — in English or French.
