Understanding Dental Emergencies

When sudden dental problems occur, knowing what constitutes an emergency helps you make informed decisions about seeking care. Common dental emergencies include:

Severe tooth pain or pressure

Knocked-out or loosened teeth

Cracked or broken teeth

Lost fillings or crowns

Dental abscess or swelling

Bleeding from mouth injuries

Objects caught between teeth

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

For a Knocked-Out Tooth

Time is crucial. Follow these steps immediately:

  1. Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root
  2. Rinse gently with water if dirty
  3. Try to place it back in the socket
  4. If not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva
  5. Contact us immediately - success rates drop after 30 minutes

For Severe Pain or Swelling

Take these immediate steps while awaiting treatment:

  1. Rinse with warm salt water
  2. Apply cold compress for swelling
  3. Take over-the-counter pain relievers
  4. Avoid applying aspirin directly to the area
  5. Call our office for same-day care

For Broken Restorations

Protect the area until treatment:

  1. Remove any loose pieces
  2. Cover sharp edges with dental wax
  3. Avoid chewing on that side
  4. Keep the area clean
  5. Schedule prompt repair

For Bleeding Gums or Mouth Sores

Take these steps to manage discomfort and reduce bleeding:

  1. Rinse with salt water or a mild antiseptic solution
  2. Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze
  3. Avoid irritating the area with food or drink
  4. If bleeding persists, contact our office for assistance
