Common dental emergencies we treat
Severe toothache or pain
Persistent or intense pain may signal infection, decay, or trauma and should be assessed as soon as possible.
Facial, gum, or jaw swelling
Swelling can indicate an abscess or infection and may worsen quickly if not addressed.
Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
Injuries from accidents, falls, or biting hard objects may need urgent evaluation.
Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
A knocked-out tooth is time-sensitive — handle it by the crown and seek care immediately.
Abscess or signs of infection
Pain, swelling, a bad taste, fever, or a pimple-like bump on the gums needs prompt attention.
Bleeding that won’t stop
Ongoing bleeding, especially after trauma or a procedure, may require urgent care.
Frequently asked questions
What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, broken or cracked teeth, swelling, infection, or uncontrolled bleeding. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, it’s always best to contact our office for guidance.
What should I do if I have a toothache?
Persistent or severe tooth pain may indicate infection, decay, or damage and should be assessed as soon as possible. Rinse your mouth with warm water and avoid chewing on the affected side until you can be seen.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown only, gently rinse it if dirty (do not scrub), and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it in milk or saliva and contact us immediately — prompt treatment increases the chance of saving the tooth.
Can I come in for an emergency if I’m not an existing patient?
Yes — we do our best to accommodate emergency patients even if they haven’t been seen before. Availability may vary, so call ahead and explain your situation so our team can advise you on next steps.
What can I do while I wait for my appointment?
Use a cold compress to reduce swelling, take over-the-counter pain relief if appropriate, avoid very hot, cold, or hard foods, and don’t ignore swelling, fever, or worsening pain. These steps help temporarily but don’t replace professional care.
