Common Dental Emergencies
Knocked Out Tooth/Teeth
A knocked-out tooth requires urgent attention to increase the chances of successful re-implantation. Rinse the tooth gently, holding it by the crown, and try to place it back into the socket. If this is not possible, keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and seek emergency dental care immediately.
Severe Toothaches
Intense toothaches can be indicative of underlying issues such as dental infections or decay. Rinse your mouth with warm water, floss to remove any debris, and take over-the-counter pain relievers if needed. Contact our emergency dental services for a thorough examination and targeted treatment.
Cracked or Broken Tooth/Teeth
A cracked or broken tooth can lead to pain and further damage. Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and seek emergency dental care promptly. Bring any tooth fragments if available.
Swollen, Infected, or Bleeding Gums, Tongue, or Mouth
Swelling, infection, or bleeding in the oral tissues may indicate an emergency. Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater, apply a cold compress, and contact our emergency dental services for a prompt evaluation and appropriate treatment.
Can You See or Feel an Abscess?
The presence of a dental abscess, characterized by a painful lump or swelling with pus, requires immediate attention. Rinse your mouth with saltwater, avoid pressing on the abscess, and seek emergency dental care to address the infection.
If you are experiencing any of the following, you are likely having a dental emergency and it is recommended you seek the care of a dentist or healthcare professional. Some dental conditions if left untreated can become severe and potentially life-threatening.
