I’m so happy to have an urgent care close to home. Place is nice and clean. Dr. Luke is warm and kind. He took his time asked a lot of questions. I was really feeling very sick. Turns out I have covid AND strep throat. Thank you Dr. Luke and team!
When It’s Time to See a Provider
Don’t ignore oral discomfort that lingers or worsens. You should visit us if you have:
- A mouth ulcer or sore lasting longer than a week
- Pain when eating or drinking
- Swelling, redness, or warmth in the mouth or gums
- Visible pus or drainage
- A foul taste or odor in the mouth
- Fever along with oral symptoms
We treat a range of conditions, including aphthous ulcers (canker sores), cold sores from HSV, minor abscesses, and gum or soft tissue irritation caused by injury or infection.
Treatment Options We Offer
Dr. Luke will begin with a gentle examination to determine the cause of your symptoms. Depending on the issue, treatment may include:
- Medicinal mouth rinses (to soothe inflammation)
- Pain-relieving gels or oral numbing agents
- Antiviral therapy for herpes-related sores
- Antibiotics if a bacterial infection is present
- Warm saltwater rinses and hydration guidance
- Coordination with a dental provider if the source is dental-related
We’ll also help identify triggers (like food sensitivities or stress) and offer strategies to avoid recurrence.
