Common Dental Emergencies & When to Seek Care

It can sometimes be difficult to know what qualifies as a dental emergency. Here are some of the most common situations that require immediate attention:

Severe Toothaches

Persistent or intense tooth pain can be a sign of infection, deep cavities, or gum disease. If over-the-counter pain relief doesn’t help, contact us for an urgent evaluation.

Knocked-Out Tooth

If a tooth is completely knocked out, act quickly! Try to place the tooth back in its socket or store it in milk and visit our office immediately—time is critical for saving the tooth.

Cracked or Broken Teeth

A cracked or fractured tooth can be painful and may expose sensitive inner layers to bacteria. Avoid chewing on the affected side and seek treatment as soon as possible.

Dental Abscess or Infection

Signs of an infection include swelling, fever, bad breath, or pus around the tooth. A dental abscess can be life-threatening if left untreated, so immediate care is essential.

Lost Fillings or Crowns

A missing filling or crown can leave a tooth vulnerable to further damage and sensitivity. Temporary dental cement may help protect the area until you can visit us for a restoration.

Broken Braces or Wires

If orthodontic wires break or become loose, they can cause irritation or injury. Avoid touching the sharp edges and visit us for repairs as soon as possible.

Soft Tissue Injuries

If you experience bleeding from a cut or injury to the lips, gums, or tongue, rinse with warm water and apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth. If bleeding persists, seek immediate dental care.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Taking the right steps before you reach our office can make a difference in the outcome of your emergency:

• For a knocked-out tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and try to place it back in its socket or keep it in milk.
• For a toothache: Rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove debris, and avoid applying aspirin directly to the gums.
• For a broken tooth: Save any fragments, rinse your mouth, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• For a dental abscess: Rinse with warm salt water and seek immediate treatment to prevent the infection from spreading.
