What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Some dental problems should not wait for a routine appointment. Emergency dentistry may be needed for:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- A cracked, fractured or chipped tooth
- A knocked-out or partially dislodged tooth
- A lost filling, crown or other restoration
- Injuries to the lips, cheeks, tongue or gums
- Swelling, infection or signs of an abscess
If you are not sure whether your situation is an emergency, call our office. Our team can help you decide how urgently you need to be seen and explain what to do until your appointment.
What To Do During a Dental Emergency
In many cases, quick action can help limit damage and improve the chances of saving a tooth. If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it carefully by the crown, not the root, and try to place it back into the socket. If that is not possible, keep it in milk or saliva and call our office right away.
For broken teeth, lost restorations or soft tissue injuries, gently rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress to help reduce swelling. If you are experiencing pain, our team can also provide instructions over the phone to help you stay as comfortable as possible until you are seen.
How Emergency Dentistry Can Help
The goal of emergency dental care is to relieve pain, stabilize the problem and protect your long-term oral health. Depending on the issue, treatment may involve restoring a damaged tooth, addressing infection, replacing a lost restoration or recommending follow-up care after the urgent problem has been managed.
Some emergencies may require additional treatment such as root canal treatment, ceramic dental crowns or tooth extractions. We will explain your options clearly and help you move forward with the care that best fits your needs.
