What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is a problem that requires prompt attention to relieve severe pain, control infection, stop bleeding, or prevent further damage.
Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- A knocked-out or loose permanent tooth
- A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
- Swelling of the gums, face, or jaw
- A dental abscess or infection
- Uncontrolled bleeding following an injury
- A lost filling, crown, or bridge causing pain or discomfort
Not sure if your situation is an emergency? Call our dental office. Our team can help determine the next steps.
What to Do During a Dental Emergency
Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse it with water and, if possible, place it back in the socket. If that isn’t possible, store it in milk and contact us immediately.
Broken or Cracked Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water, save any broken pieces, and apply a cold compress to help reduce swelling.
Severe Toothache: Rinse with warm salt water and avoid placing aspirin directly on your gums. Contact our office to determine the cause of your pain.
Lost Crown or Filling: Keep the restoration if possible and avoid chewing on the affected side until you can be seen.

Signs of a Serious Dental Infection
