Know When to Seek Emergency Dental Care
Dental pain is your body's way of signaling a problem that needs attention.
Sharp, throbbing, or persistent toothaches often indicate infection or deep decay that won't resolve without treatment.
Knocked-out teeth require immediate care - within an hour - for the best chance of saving the tooth. Loose teeth, broken teeth, and lost fillings or crowns also need prompt attention to prevent further damage.
Facial swelling, especially when accompanied by pain or fever, can signal a dangerous infection that may spread if not treated quickly. Soft tissue injuries like cuts to the gums, lips, or tongue that won't stop bleeding need professional care.
If you're unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us - we can help determine the urgency of your needs.
Take Action Before Your Emergency Appointment
Taking the right steps before you reach our office can make a significant difference in your outcome.
For toothaches, gently rinse with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed. Apply a cold compress outside your mouth to reduce swelling. Never place aspirin directly on gums or teeth as this can burn your tissue.
If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (never the root), rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If that's not possible, store it in milk or between your cheek and gum to keep it moist.
For broken teeth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Soft tissue injuries can be temporarily managed by applying pressure with a clean cloth or a tea bag for 15-20 minutes.
