What Is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency involves pain, infection, or trauma that requires immediate attention to prevent further complications. Common emergencies include:

Severe Tooth Pain: Often caused by decay, infection, or fractures, requiring immediate diagnosis and treatment.

Knocked-Out Teeth: Immediate action can save the tooth—keep it moist and visit us promptly.

Chipped or Broken Teeth: Can lead to sensitivity, pain, or infection if untreated.

Gum or Jaw Swelling: May indicate an abscess or infection, requiring urgent intervention.

Lost Fillings, Crowns, or Veneers: Exposure of sensitive tooth structures can lead to pain and complications.

Fractures or Cracks: These can progress if left untreated, affecting tooth stability and health.

Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and quick action is essential to protect your teeth and ease your pain.

Common causes of dental emergencies.

Infections and Abscesses

Pain or swelling in the mouth can be a sign of an abscess, infection, or gum disease. If untreated, these problems can worsen and lead to more serious complications.

Cracked Tooth Syndrome (CTS)

Discomfort when biting, sensitivity to cold, or occasional pain could mean there’s a crack in your tooth. Catching it early is key to saving the tooth and avoiding further damage.

Trauma or Fractures

Accidents, sports injuries, or falls can result in chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth. Seeking immediate care increases the chances of saving the tooth.

Root Canal Issues

Problems with a previous root canal, such as pain or reinfection, can become emergencies that require prompt attention to protect the tooth.

What should you do in a dental emergency?

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, call us immediately for guidance on what to do next. To manage pain and swelling, apply a cold compress to the area and take over-the-counter pain relief if needed. If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown, avoid touching the root, and place it in milk or saliva to keep it moist until you can see a dentist. For bleeding, gently press a clean cloth or gauze against the area until it stops.

To prevent further damage, avoid chewing on hard foods or putting pressure on the affected tooth or gums. Taking these quick steps can help protect your oral health until you receive professional care.

FAQ

Dental emergencies FAQs

Got questions? Checkout our FAQs below.

How do you prevent dental emergencies?

Preventing dental emergencies starts with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. Brush and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy, and visit your dentist twice a year for professional cleanings and exams. Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens, and wear a custom mouthguard during sports to protect your teeth from injury. Address minor dental issues, such as cavities or sensitivity, early to prevent them from turning into bigger problems.

What is considered a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes any issue that causes severe pain, swelling, or bleeding, or that risks damaging your teeth or gums. Common emergencies include toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, abscesses, and injuries to the gums or jaw. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, it’s always best to contact a dentist for advice.

Is emergency dental care expensive?

The cost of emergency dental care depends on the treatment you need, but addressing an issue early can save you money in the long run. At our clinic, we offer free emergency telehealth and in-person consultations to make your care more affordable. Many emergency treatments are straightforward and focus on stabilizing the issue, which helps keep costs manageable.

How quickly can I get an appointment for a dental emergency?

We want to help you find relief fast. You can speak with a dentist through our free 24-hour telehealth service and schedule an in-person consultation right away. Our goal is to provide the care you need without delay.

How to tell if a tooth is infected?

An infected tooth often comes with noticeable symptoms, such as persistent or severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or pain when biting or chewing. You might also notice swelling in the gums, face, or jaw near the affected tooth, as well as redness or a pimple-like bump on the gum. In some cases, an infected tooth can cause bad breath or an unpleasant taste in your mouth. If you’re experiencing any of these signs, it’s important to see a dentist right away to prevent the infection from spreading and to get proper treatment.
