What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that causes severe pain, affects normal function, or could lead to lasting damage if not treated quickly. Common dental emergencies include:
- Persistent or intense tooth pain
- Broken, cracked, or knocked-out teeth
- Swelling in the gums, face, or jaw
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Lost or damaged crowns or fillings
- Signs of infection such as pus, fever, or a foul taste
- Injuries caused by sports, falls, or accidents
If you’re uncertain whether your condition requires immediate care, don’t hesitate to call us. Our team can assess your symptoms over the phone and advise you on the next steps.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
While you’re on your way to our office, these quick steps can help protect your teeth and minimize discomfort:
- Knocked-out tooth: Keep the tooth moist in milk or saline, and handle it only by the crown—avoid touching the root.
- Swelling: Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce inflammation.
- Bleeding: Apply firm, gentle pressure with clean gauze until it stops.
- Lost filling or crown: Use temporary dental cement (available at most pharmacies) to protect the area until you’re seen.
- Toothache: Rinse with warm salt water and avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums.
If you experience facial trauma, loss of consciousness, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency room, then contact our office for follow-up care.
