FAQ
A dental emergency includes any situation involving severe pain, bleeding, or trauma to the teeth, gums, or mouth. Common examples are broken or knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, lost fillings or crowns, and injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth. If you experience any of these, you should seek immediate dental care.
If you have a toothache, we recommend seeing a dentist as soon as possible, especially if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling or fever. These symptoms could indicate an infection or other serious issue. Prompt treatment can prevent further complications and help relieve your pain quickly.
If you knock out a tooth, act quickly. Pick up the tooth by the crown (the part that is normally visible) and rinse it with water if it is dirty. Try to place it back in the socket, but if that is not possible, keep it in a container of milk or a saline solution. Contact our dentist immediately for the best chance of saving the tooth.
If you experience a dental emergency after hours, call our office immediately. Our phone line may provide instructions for reaching us, or you may be directed to an after-hours emergency service. It is important to seek care as soon as possible, even if it means visiting an emergency room for urgent pain relief.
A lost
filling or
crown should be addressed promptly to avoid pain and further damage to your tooth. While it may not always require immediate attention, delaying treatment can lead to more significant issues, such as infection or the need for more extensive repairs. Contact our team as soon as possible to schedule a repair.
