Recognizing a Dental Emergency
1. Severe Toothache A persistent and excruciating toothache can indicate an underlying issue like a dental infection or a damaged tooth. Don't endure the pain; contact us right away.
2. Knocked-Out Tooth If you or a family member has had a tooth knocked out due to an accident or injury, time is of the essence. Retrieve the tooth (holding it by the crown, not the root), rinse it gently with water if dirty, and try to place it back into the socket. If this is not possible, store it in milk or your saliva and contact us immediately.
3. Chipped or Fractured Tooth A chipped or fractured tooth may expose sensitive nerve endings and increase the risk of infection. Save any broken tooth fragments if possible and seek emergency dental care.
4. Lost Filling or Crown Losing a dental filling or crown can leave your tooth vulnerable to damage and sensitivity. Contact us to repair or replace the restoration promptly.
5. Gum or Tooth Bleeding Uncontrolled gum or tooth bleeding can indicate various issues, including gum disease or a dental injury. Seek urgent care to diagnose and address the cause of the bleeding.
6. Dental Abscess A dental abscess is a painful and potentially dangerous infection that requires immediate attention. Symptoms may include severe tooth pain, facial swelling, and fever.
Why Choose Immediate Emergency Care?
1. Pain Relief Dental emergencies often come with severe pain and discomfort. Immediate care can provide you with relief and prevent the pain from worsening

3. Protecting Your Smile A dental emergency can jeopardize your smile's health and appearance. Quick action can preserve your teeth and prevent permanent damage.

Frequently Asked Questions Emergency Dentistry
What should I do if my child knocks out a baby tooth?
If a baby tooth is knocked out prematurely, it's essential not to try to reinsert it, as this could damage the emerging permanent tooth. Contact our office for guidance, but typically, no immediate treatment is needed for a lost baby tooth.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of regular office hours?
If you experience a dental emergency outside of our regular office hours, please contact our emergency number for guidance. We are dedicated to providing you with the care you need, even during non-business hours.
Can you save a knocked-out tooth?
In many cases, a knocked-out tooth can be saved if you seek immediate care. Rinse the tooth gently with water, being careful not to remove any attached tissues. Try to place the tooth back into its socket, or if that's not possible, keep it moist by placing it in a glass of milk or between your cheek and gums. Contact our office immediately for further instructions.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, there are steps you can take to minimize the risk:
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.
- Wear protective gear during contact sports.
- Avoid chewing on hard objects or ice.
- Don't use your teeth to open packages or bottles.
- Attend regular dental check-ups to address any potential issues early.
What if I have dental anxiety or fear of treatment during a dental emergency?
We understand that dental emergencies can be stressful, and dental anxiety is common. Our team is experienced in providing care with compassion and understanding. We offer sedation dentistry options to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable during treatment. Please let us know about your concerns, and we will work with you to ensure a positive experience.
Is an abscessed tooth a dental emergency?
Yes, an abscessed tooth is considered a dental emergency. Dental abscesses are painful infections that can lead to severe complications if not treated promptly. Seek immediate care if you suspect you have an abscessed tooth, as it may require drainage and antibiotic treatment.
What should I do if I experience severe tooth pain?
Severe tooth pain is often a sign of an underlying issue, such as an infection or dental injury. Contact our office as soon as possible to schedule an emergency dental exam. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed and avoid applying aspirin directly to the painful area, as this can cause tissue damage.
