Common dental emergencies

Toothache

Persistent tooth pain may indicate decay, an abscess, or an infection. If left untreated, infections can spread and cause serious complications. While waiting for your appointment, applying a cold compress to the affected area can help reduce pain and swelling.

Abscess

A dental abscess is a serious infection that requires immediate treatment to prevent it from spreading. If you notice swelling, pus, or severe pain in your gums or teeth, rinse your mouth with warm salt water and contact our office immediately.

Chipped or broken teeth

A chipped or broken tooth can result from trauma, biting hard foods, or grinding. If this happens, rinse your mouth with warm water, save any broken pieces, and contact us for treatment. We offer cosmetic and restorative solutions, such as dental bonding or crowns, to restore your tooth and smile.

Knocked-out or loose tooth

If a tooth is knocked out, try to locate it and keep it moist by placing it in milk or a saline solution. Avoid touching the root and bring the tooth with you to your appointment. A loose tooth should be left in place until evaluated by our doctors.

Loose or lost dental restoration

If a dental crown, filling, or bridge becomes loose or falls out, it should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent damage or infection. If possible, bring the restoration with you to your visit, and our team will determine whether it can be reattached or replaced.

Excessive bleeding

Excessive bleeding from the mouth can be caused by trauma, gum disease, or oral surgery complications. Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze and seek emergency dental care immediately if the bleeding does not stop.
