Emergency Dental Services FAQs
A dental emergency is any situation involving severe pain, injury, or infection that requires immediate attention from a dentist. Common examples include a knocked-out or broken tooth, severe toothache, excessive bleeding, or infections that cause swelling or fever. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent further complications, relieve pain, and preserve oral health.
If you knock out a tooth, pick it up by the crown (the top part), not the root. Gently rinse it with water if it’s dirty, but don’t scrub it. If possible, try to place the tooth back into its socket and hold it there while getting to a dentist immediately. If you can’t reinsert it, moisten the tooth by putting it in milk or holding it between your cheek and gums. Seek emergency dental care as quickly as possible for the best chance of saving the tooth.
A dental issue is likely an emergency if you’re experiencing severe pain, uncontrollable bleeding, a knocked-out or broken tooth, or signs of infection such as swelling, pus, or fever. These situations require immediate attention to prevent further complications. If the pain is mild, there’s no bleeding, and no other concerning symptoms, the issue may be able to wait until a regular dental appointment. When in doubt, contacting your dentist for guidance is always best.
