Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

We handle a wide range of urgent dental issues, including:

• Severe Toothaches: Persistent, throbbing pain is often a sign of infection that needs immediate attention.
• Chipped or Broken Teeth: We can often repair the damage with bonding or a crown to protect the tooth.
• Knocked-Out Teeth: Time is critical. If your tooth is knocked out, see us within 30-60 minutes for the best chance of saving it.
• Lost Fillings or Crowns: Exposed tooth structure can be very sensitive and prone to further decay.
• Abscesses or Swelling: Swelling in the gums or face can indicate a serious infection that requires urgent antibiotic treatment and care.

What to Do Before You Arrive

Taking the right steps before you get to our office can make a big difference. The American Dental Association recommends these first-aid tips:

• Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle it only by the crown (top), not the root. Rinse it gently with water (do not scrub) and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it moist in milk or your cheek pouch.
• Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss to remove any trapped food. Do not place aspirin directly on the gums, as this can cause a chemical burn.
• Swelling: Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to help reduce pain and swelling.
