What Is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any urgent issue involving your teeth, gums, or mouth that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or prevent further complications. If you’re in severe discomfort, don’t wait—call us right away to schedule an emergency visit.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency?

If You Have a Knocked-Out Tooth:

✅ Find the tooth and handle it by the crown (top), not the root.
✅ Gently rinse it with water (no scrubbing!).
✅ Try to place it back in the socket if possible.
✅ If you can’t, place it in a cup of milk and call us immediately.

If You Have Severe Tooth Pain or Swelling:

✅ Rinse with warm salt water to help reduce bacteria.
✅ Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
✅ Take over-the-counter pain relievers (avoid aspirin if there’s bleeding).
✅ Call us immediately for an emergency exam.
