Top 10 Warning Signs YOU Need to See a Dentist
Learn the key symptoms that should never be ignored — and when to seek immediate care.
Fast, effective treatment when you need it most.
Dr. Haque and his team are equipped to handle a wide variety of dental emergencies, providing quick relief and long-term solutions for urgent dental concerns.
Severe Tooth Pain
Persistent or throbbing tooth pain can signal decay, infection, or trauma. We diagnose the cause quickly and get you out of pain the same day when possible.
Ask about this on your visit
Knocked-Out Teeth
A knocked-out tooth is time-sensitive. If you can recover it, keep it moist in milk or saliva and call us immediately — quick action can save the tooth.
Ask about this on your visit
Broken Teeth & Crowns
Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth and crowns can expose sensitive tissue. We provide temporary protection and a plan for permanent repair.
Ask about this on your visit
Infections & Abscesses
Swelling, fever, and intense pain may point to a dental abscess. We act fast to control infection, relieve pressure, and protect your overall health.
Ask about this on your visit
Bleeding & Soft-Tissue Injuries
Uncontrolled bleeding from the gums, tongue, or cheeks needs prompt attention. We'll assess the injury and stop the bleeding safely.
Ask about this on your visit
Swollen Gums or Jaw
Sudden swelling can indicate a serious infection or blocked salivary duct. We use digital imaging to find the cause and treat it before it spreads.
Ask about this on your visit
Root Canal Therapy
When infection reaches the tooth pulp, a root canal can relieve pain and save the tooth. Modern techniques make the procedure far more comfortable than its reputation.
Ask about this on your visit
Emergency Extractions
If a tooth is too damaged or infected to save, we perform extractions with minimal discomfort and discuss replacement options when you're ready.
Ask about this on your visit
Broken Braces & Dental Work
Damaged braces, dentures, or other appliances can cause pain and delay treatment. We repair or stabilize them so you can get back to normal.

Dr. Umar Haque, DMD
Emergency & General Dentist · Owner, Oak Brook Smiles
Dr. Umar Haque earned his dental degree from the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine and completed General Practice Residencies at the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago.
He has led Oak Brook Smiles in Oakbrook Terrace since 2002, building a practice around a simple idea: patients deserve to understand exactly what's happening in their own mouths. Every exam comes with a plain-language explanation of what he sees, what it means, and what the options are — including the option to wait and watch.
His approach combines traditional comprehensive dentistry with a whole-health perspective and a genuinely gentle chairside manner. Patients regularly describe leaving an appointment feeling informed rather than lectured, and comfortable rather than judged.

Common dental emergencies
Not sure if your situation is an emergency? Here are the issues we treat most often — and why prompt care matters.
Severe tooth pain Tooth pain from decay, infection, or trauma can worsen quickly. Delaying care may turn a simple fix into a root canal or extraction.
Knocked-out or loose teeth Adult teeth should never be loose. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved if you see a dentist within the first hour.
Swelling, bleeding, or abscess Swelling, fever, and uncontrolled bleeding can signal a serious infection. Quick treatment protects your mouth and your overall health.
Five stars, over and over.
“I hated going to the dentist office before going to Oak Brook Smiles. They are all knowledgeable and take great care of their patients along with being easy on the eyes. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for any dental work”
Dakotah P. “I came to Dr. Hague today for the first time & was sooo impressed with how very kind & patient everyone was. The dentist was so thorough, patient & very helpful to discuss all my dental problems. I am switching to him as my new dentist. I feel very comforted.”
Connie D. “What a wonderful experience! I will be the first to admit how much I hate going to the dentist. It's always an anxiety-ridden experience, and knowing I would need oral surgery did not make this easier. But Dr. Haque and his team are amazing! They all are so helpful and understanding, and made me feel as comfortable as possible. I am so glad I chose Oakbrook Smiles - this will be my permanent place for all my dental needs!”
Rebecca H. “I've had issues with other dentists in the past and Dr. Haque has fixed many of my issues and I never dread going there! The root canal specialist that they work with was also very pleasant. I always leave Oak Brook Smiles pleased with my visit and Dr. Haque and his entire staff are very friendly and fun to see. They all take an interest in me personally as I in them. It makes going to the dentist a lot more fun! I highly recommend Oak Brook Smiles for all your dental needs.”
