Common Dental Emergencies

We understand that every emergency is unique, but some situations require more urgent attention than others. Here are some of the dental emergencies we commonly treat:

  • Severe Toothaches: Persistent or intense tooth pain could signal an underlying issue, such as decay or an infection, which requires immediate treatment.
  • Lost Restorations: If you lose a filling or crown, it can leave your tooth vulnerable to further damage or sensitivity.
  • Chipped, Cracked or Broken Teeth: Damage to your tooth’s structure should be addressed quickly to prevent further complications.
  • Knocked-Out Teeth: Time is critical in this situation. Prompt care can increase the chances of saving your tooth.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Damage to your gums, tongue or cheeks may require professional care to ensure proper healing.

Steps to Take in a Dental Emergency

If you experience a dental emergency, contact our office immediately. Our team will guide you through the steps to manage your situation until you can visit us. For example, if a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist by placing it in milk or gently inserting it back into its socket without touching the root.

For head or neck injuries, call 911 or visit the emergency room first, as these concerns take priority. Once you are cleared by a medical doctor, our dentists and team can address any dental issues you may have experienced.
