What is a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental problem requires immediate treatment, but certain conditions should be addressed right away to avoid long-term complications.
Common dental emergencies include:
Severe Toothache
A toothache that doesn’t go away with over-the-counter pain relief can indicate an infection or decay that has reached the nerve. You might experience throbbing pain, sensitivity to temperature, or swelling in your face or gums. Rinse with warm salt water and call us right away; delaying care can lead to a more serious infection or abscess.
Knocked-Out or Loose Tooth
A tooth that’s been knocked out due to trauma or accident requires immediate attention. Carefully pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep the tooth moist and contact our office right away.
Broken, Chipped, or Fractured Tooth
Even a small crack can expose the tooth’s inner layers, leading to pain or infection. Rinse with warm water and use a cold compress to minimize swelling. Save any pieces you can and bring them with you. We can often repair or restore the tooth with bonding, veneers, or a same-day crown using our CEREC technology.
Lost Filling or Crown
If a filling or crown falls out, the exposed tooth can become sensitive and more prone to decay. Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side. Bring the restoration with you – we may be able to reattach it or replace it in a single visit.
Dental Abscess or Swelling
An abscess is a serious infection that can cause pain, swelling, and fever. It forms when bacteria reach the tooth root or the surrounding gums. Left untreated, it can spread to other parts of the body. If you notice a pimple-like bump on your gums or feel swelling near a tooth, contact us immediately for treatment.
Bleeding or Soft Tissue Injury
Injuries to the lips, cheeks, or gums can cause bleeding and discomfort. Gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water and apply pressure with clean gauze. If bleeding doesn’t stop within 10–15 minutes, seek emergency care right away.
If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, contact us at 10 Day Smiles. Our caring team is here to provide the guidance you need.
