What Is a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies can range from minor discomfort to serious pain and injuries. Here are some common situations that require immediate dental attention:

• Severe toothache: Persistent or intense tooth pain could be a sign of infection or decay that requires urgent treatment.
• Broken or chipped tooth: If you have broken, chipped, or fractured a tooth, it’s important to get it treated quickly to prevent further damage or infection.
• Knocked-out tooth: If a tooth has been knocked out due to injury, it’s crucial to act quickly. If you can reinsert the tooth in its socket and get to a dentist within an hour, there’s a good chance we can save it.
• Lost filling or crown: If a dental filling or crown falls out, it can leave your tooth vulnerable to damage and decay. Contact us as soon as possible to have it replaced.
• Abscess or infection: A dental abscess is a serious infection that can cause swelling, pain, and fever. It requires immediate treatment to prevent the infection from spreading.
• Injury to the mouth or gums: Trauma to the soft tissues of the mouth, such as cuts, lacerations, or bleeding gums, can also be considered a dental emergency.

If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, it’s always better to call. We’ll help assess the situation and guide you on the next steps.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

In the event of a dental emergency, it’s important to stay calm and take the right steps to protect your oral health until you can see a dentist. Here are some first-aid tips for common dental emergencies:

• For a knocked-out tooth: Rinse the tooth gently with water and try to place it back in the socket. If this isn’t possible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in a container of milk or holding it between your cheek and gums. Seek dental care immediately.
• For a broken or chipped tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any pieces of the tooth and bring them with you to your appointment.
• For a severe toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any debris around the affected tooth. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth as this can irritate the gums.
• For a lost filling or crown: Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on the affected side of your mouth. If possible, use dental cement from a pharmacy to cover the area temporarily until you can see your dentist.
