Common Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies can take many forms, and recognizing them is the first step toward getting the right treatment. Some of the most common emergencies include:

  • Severe Tooth Pain – Persistent or intense toothaches may indicate infection, decay or other serious dental issues.
  • Broken, Chipped or Cracked Teeth – Damage to a tooth can lead to pain and further complications if left untreated.
  • Knocked-Out Teeth – If a tooth has been completely knocked out, acting quickly increases the chances of saving it.
  • Lost Dental Restorations – If a filling or crown falls out, the exposed tooth can become vulnerable to further damage.
  • Injuries to Soft Tissues – Cuts or wounds to the lips, tongue, gums or inner cheeks may require professional care to stop bleeding and prevent infection.

If you experience any of these conditions, it is important to seek emergency dental care as soon as possible.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, call our office immediately. Our team will help you determine the best course of action and provide instructions on how to manage your situation until you can see our dentists. In cases of severe pain, swelling or bleeding, applying a cold compress to the affected area may help reduce discomfort. If a tooth has been knocked out, try to keep it moist by placing it in a container of milk or a tooth preservation solution.

For injuries involving trauma to the head or neck, we recommend calling 911 or seeking medical attention at an emergency room before addressing any dental concerns. Your overall health is our priority, and we want to ensure you receive the care you need in the correct order.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care

What should I do if I break a tooth?

+
If you break a tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Try to locate any broken pieces and bring them to your appointment. Avoid chewing on the affected side until our dentists can evaluate the damage and determines the best course of treatment.

How do I know if my toothache is a dental emergency?

+
A toothache may be an emergency if it is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling, fever or sensitivity to pressure. Pain that disrupts sleep or worsens over time could indicate an infection or abscess. Seeking prompt dental care can help prevent complications and provide relief as soon as possible.

Can a lost filling or crown wait until my next appointment?

+
A lost filling or crown should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further damage or discomfort. The exposed tooth may become sensitive or vulnerable to decay. Temporary dental cement, available at pharmacies, can help protect the tooth until you can see your dentist for a permanent solution.

What should I do if I have an object stuck between my teeth?

+
If an object is lodged between your teeth, try gently removing it with dental floss. Avoid using sharp objects, as they can damage the gums or enamel. If the object does not come out easily, contact our dentists and team for assistance to prevent injury or infection.
