What Is a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental problem requires immediate treatment, but some situations should never be ignored.
You should contact our office as soon as possible if you experience:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- A broken, cracked, or chipped tooth
- A knocked-out tooth
- Swelling of the gums or face
- A lost filling or crown
- A dental abscess or infection
- Bleeding that doesn't stop after an injury
Early treatment often prevents complications and improves the chances of saving your natural tooth.
Toothaches and Dental Pain
A toothache is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong.
Pain may be caused by tooth decay, infection, a cracked tooth, gum disease, or an injured dental nerve. While over-the-counter pain medication may provide temporary relief, it doesn’t address the underlying problem.
If you’re experiencing persistent or severe tooth pain, it’s important to schedule an emergency examination as soon as possible so we can diagnose the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
Broken, Chipped & Knocked-Out Teeth
Dental injuries can happen during sports, falls, accidents, or while eating.
Whenever possible, save any broken tooth fragments and contact our office immediately. If an adult tooth has been knocked out, gently rinse it without scrubbing and try to place it back into the socket. If this isn’t possible, keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and seek emergency dental care right away.
Prompt treatment significantly improves the likelihood of saving the tooth.
Swelling and Dental Infections
Facial swelling, gum swelling, or severe pain may indicate a dental infection.
Untreated infections can spread beyond the affected tooth and become more serious. Symptoms such as swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing should never be ignored.
Our team will evaluate the source of the infection and recommend the most appropriate treatment to relieve pain and protect your overall health.
Lost Crowns and Fillings
A lost filling or crown may not seem urgent at first, but leaving the tooth unprotected increases the risk of additional damage and sensitivity.
Contact our office as soon as possible so we can restore your tooth before the problem becomes more complicated.
Avoid chewing on the affected side until your appointment whenever possible.
What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit
Our priority is relieving your pain and identifying the cause of your emergency.
During your visit, we'll perform a thorough examination, take any necessary digital X-rays, explain our findings, and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Depending on your situation, treatment may include a filling, crown, root canal therapy, extraction, temporary restoration, or another procedure designed to stabilize your oral health.
Whenever possible, we'll begin treatment during the same appointment.
