What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any dental condition that requires urgent attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, prevent infection or save a tooth.
Some emergencies require immediate treatment, while others should be assessed as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening.
If you are unsure whether your situation is a dental emergency, our team can provide guidance over the phone.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Severe Toothache
Persistent or severe tooth pain may indicate infection, decay or damage to the tooth and should be assessed promptly.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
A chipped, cracked or broken tooth can affect both appearance and function and may require urgent treatment to prevent further damage.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out tooth requires immediate attention. In some cases, prompt treatment may improve the chances of saving the tooth.
Lost Fillings or Crowns
A lost filling or crown can leave the tooth vulnerable to further damage and sensitivity.
Dental Abscess
An abscess is a serious infection that may cause pain, swelling and discomfort. Urgent treatment is recommended.
Swelling of the Face or Gums
Facial swelling may indicate infection and should be assessed as soon as possible.
Bleeding Following Injury
Dental trauma causing ongoing bleeding should receive professional attention.
Wisdom Tooth Pain
Impacted or infected wisdom teeth can cause significant discomfort and may require urgent treatment.
What to Do During a Dental Emergency
Toothache
Rinse your mouth with warm water and avoid placing aspirin directly on the affected area. Contact our clinic as soon as possible.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown rather than the root, gently rinse it if necessary and attempt to place it back into the socket if possible. If not, store it in milk or saliva and seek immediate dental care.
Broken Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water and retain any broken pieces if possible.
Swelling
Apply a cold compress to the outside of the face and contact our team promptly.
Lost Crown or Filling
Keep the restoration if possible and arrange an emergency appointment.
