What Is a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation involving the mouth, teeth, or gums that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or prevent permanent damage.

What to do during a dental emergency

Before reaching our office, here are steps to manage common emergencies:

• Knocked-out tooth: Handle only by the crown, rinse gently, and place in milk or saline. Call us immediately. Time is critical.
• Severe toothache: Rinse with warm salt water. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum. Call us to schedule a same-day evaluation.
• Dental abscess: Do not attempt to drain it at home. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and call our office right away.
• Broken tooth or lost crown: Save the piece if possible, avoid chewing on that side, and contact us for a same-day appointment.
