FAQS ABOUT DENTAL EMERGENCIES
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes issues like a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, broken or chipped teeth, uncontrolled bleeding, abscesses, or injuries to the mouth that need immediate care.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it in milk or saliva and get to the dentist right away—timing is critical.
Can a severe toothache be an emergency?
Yes. A toothache that doesn’t go away or is accompanied by swelling, fever, or sensitivity may indicate an infection that needs urgent treatment.
What if I crack or chip a tooth?
Rinse your mouth with warm water, save any broken pieces, and call your dentist immediately. Even if it doesn’t hurt, quick treatment can prevent further damage or infection.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency after hours?
Call our office! If for some reason you can’t reach us and the situation is severe (like swelling affecting breathing), go to the nearest emergency room.
