What Is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation that affects your mouth and causes you pain or threatens the health of your teeth if care is not sought quickly. Common instances include chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth; severe toothaches caused by decay or infection; and abscesses. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to seek emergency care from a professional as soon as you can to help minimize negative outcomes.

Benefits of Emergency Dental Treatment

Seeking treatment during a dental emergency will provide you with a number of benefits, including:

Fast, efficient treatment that can help to relieve your pain quickly

The ability to preserve your existing teeth

Improved oral health 

A restored, confident smile

What If I Don't Seek Emergency Dental Treatment?

If you don't seek emergency dental treatment, your condition could worsen. For instance, an infection or abscess can spread quickly, leading to more pain and complications such as gum disease. You could also end up losing a knocked-out or decaying tooth and needing an implant or another restorative dentistry solution. Save yourself time, pain, and money by seeking treatment from a professional quickly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • When should I seek emergency dental care?

    You should seek emergency dental care if you experience intense dental pain that persists or worsens, have a knocked-out tooth, experience significant oral bleeding, have a severe infection, or sustain an injury to the mouth or jaw. It's always better to err on the side of caution and seek professional help if you're uncertain.

  • What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?

    If a tooth gets knocked out, it's crucial to act quickly. Rinse the tooth gently with water without scrubbing or removing any attached tissue. Try to place the tooth back into its socket if possible, but if not, keep it moist by placing it in a cup of milk or saliva. Get to a dentist or emergency room immediately, as there is a higher chance of saving the tooth if it is reimplanted within an hour.

  • How can I manage severe toothaches at home?

    For severe toothaches, rinse your mouth with warm saltwater to help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. Gently floss around the affected tooth to remove any trapped food particles that may be causing the pain. Avoid applying aspirin or other pain relievers directly to the gums, as it can cause tissue damage. It's essential to see a dentist as soon as possible to diagnose and treat the underlying cause of the toothache.

  • Can I go to the emergency room for dental emergencies?

    In some cases, it may be appropriate to visit the emergency room for dental emergencies, especially if it occurs outside of regular dental office hours or if there are other accompanying medical issues. However, it's important to note that emergency rooms are typically equipped to provide temporary relief for dental emergencies, such as controlling bleeding or managing severe pain, but they may not have dental specialists available for comprehensive dental care.

  • What should I bring to my appointment?

    When visiting our office for an emergency appointment, it's helpful to bring the following:


    • Any Relevant Dental Records or X-Rays: If you have any recent dental records or x-rays from previous treatments, please bring them with you. These can provide valuable information for our emergency dentists when evaluating your condition.
    • Insurance Information: If you have dental insurance, please bring your insurance card or policy information. Our staff will assist you in processing any insurance claims related to your emergency treatment.
    • List of Current Medications: It's important for our team to be aware of any medications you're currently taking, as they may impact your dental treatment or medication options.
  • My crown came loose. What do I do?

    If you've lost a dental crown, try to locate it and bring it with you to your appointment. Avoid chewing on the affected tooth to prevent further damage or discomfort.

  • My tooth is chipped, what should I do?

    If you've chipped or fractured a tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any broken pieces of the tooth and bring them with you to your appointment.

  • How do I treat an abscess?

    Dental abscesses and infections can cause severe pain and swelling and require prompt treatment to prevent complications. If you suspect you have an abscess or infection, rinse your mouth with warm saltwater and contact our office immediately for an emergency appointment.
