Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes any situation requiring immediate care to relieve pain, save a tooth, or stop bleeding. Common emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, cracked or broken teeth, abscesses, and injuries to the mouth. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us, and we’ll help assess your symptoms.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Handle the tooth by the crown (the top part), and avoid touching the root. If it’s dirty, gently rinse it with water—never scrub or use chemicals. Try to place it back into the socket, applying gentle pressure. If that’s not possible, store the tooth in a container of milk or saline solution and see a dentist immediately. Your quick action increases the chances of saving the tooth.

How can I manage severe tooth pain until I see a dentist?

To ease tooth pain temporarily, rinse with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain relief, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid placing painkillers directly on the gums. These measures can help reduce discomfort, but it’s important to see a dentist as soon as possible to address the underlying issue.

Can I go to the emergency room for a dental emergency?

Hospital emergency rooms can provide temporary pain relief or antibiotics for dental infections, but they aren’t equipped to treat dental issues directly. If possible, see an emergency dentist for care. However, if you experience facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or a high fever, go to the ER immediately, as these symptoms may indicate a more serious condition.

What should I do if I chip or break a tooth?

Rinse your mouth with warm water and collect any broken pieces. Apply a cold compress to your cheek to reduce swelling, and cover any sharp edges with dental wax if available. Contact us as soon as possible to schedule an appointment—early treatment can help prevent further damage.
