What is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency refers to any situation that requires urgent care to address severe pain, bleeding, or damage to the teeth, gums, or other oral tissues. Ignoring a dental emergency can lead to more serious issues, such as infections spreading to other areas of the body or permanent damage to your oral health. Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe Toothache: Persistent pain that doesn’t subside with over-the-counter painkillers.
- Broken or Cracked Tooth: Damage caused by trauma or biting down on something hard.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: A tooth that has been completely dislodged due to an accident.
- Dental Abscess or Infection: Swelling, pain, or fever caused by an infection in the tooth or gum.
- Bleeding Gums or Mouth: Excessive bleeding from injury or gum disease.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: Missing dental work that leaves your tooth exposed and vulnerable.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency?
In a dental emergency, quick action can make all the difference. Here’s what to do before visiting us:
- For Toothaches: Rinse your mouth with warm water, use dental floss to remove any food debris, and take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
- For a Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown, rinse it gently (don’t scrub), and try to place it back in its socket if possible. If not, keep it in a container of milk or saliva and visit us immediately.
- For Broken or Cracked Teeth: Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and bring any broken pieces with you.
- For Dental Abscess: Rinse with salt water to reduce discomfort and avoid spreading the infection until you can see us.
- For Bleeding Gums or Mouth: Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze.
