Signs You’re Experiencing a Dental Emergency

Knowing when to call for emergency dentistry can make all the difference. Common signs of a dental emergency include:
Severe or persistent tooth pain
This can indicate decay, infection, or damage that needs immediate attention.
Swelling or fever
These symptoms may point to an infection or abscess that requires urgent care to prevent it from spreading.
Visible damage to a tooth
A broken tooth, crack, or lost filling may not seem urgent at first but can lead to further complications if untreated.
Knocked-out tooth
Quick action is critical. Handle the tooth carefully, and place it in your own saliva or a glass of milk before calling us.
Bleeding that doesn’t stop
This can be a sign of trauma or more serious issues that need evaluation.
If you’re unsure whether your situation requires emergency care, don’t hesitate to call our team. It’s always better to get advice from an expert than to risk complications later. If you're experiencing intense pain, bleeding, swelling or other symptoms, consider heading to the emergency room for urgent care.

Common Dental Emergencies

What to do if you can't get to us right away:

Severe Toothaches

Get relief from throbbing pain and discover the underlying cause. Until you are able to see us try these remedies...
  • Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.
  • Avoid placing heat directly on the affected area.
  • Over-the-counter pain medication (like ibuprofen) can help manage discomfort until you can see us.

Knocked-out Teeth

Quick action can often save a tooth if treated right away. To have the best chance of saving your tooth, try the following:
  • Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root).
  • Place the tooth back in the socket if possible, or keep it in a glass of milk or saliva.
  • Call us right away to book an appointment for the best chance of saving the tooth. If you are calling outside of business hours, please call our emergency line.

Chipped or Broken Teeth

Repair damage and prevent further issues with prompt care.
  • Save any broken pieces and bring them with you.
  • Apply a cold compress to the wounded area to reduce swelling (if any).
  • If there is bleeding, gently bite down on clean gauze or a cloth.

Lost Fillings or Crowns

We’ll help protect your tooth and restore your restoration.
  • If you have a filling or crown that has come loose, keep your crown in a safe place and contact us as soon as possible.
  • Avoid chewing on the area until you see us.

Abscess or Infections

Don’t wait—get fast treatment to prevent the spread of infection. Try these remedies until you are able to see us...
  • Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.
  • Avoid placing heat directly on the affected area.
  • Take over-the-counter pain medication to help manage discomfort until you can see us. Please follow the instructions on the medication closely.

Preventing Dental Emergencies

While accidents can happen, there are steps you can take to minimize the chance of needing emergency dental care. Taking these precautions can reduce your chances of experiencing a dental emergency and keep your smile healthy for the long term.
Wear a mouthguard
Protect your teeth and gums during sports or activities where impact is possible.
Avoid chewing hard objects
Ice, pens, and hard candies can cause a broken tooth or cracks in the enamel.
Maintain good oral hygiene
Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine check-ups, can prevent cavities and gum issues that may lead to emergencies.
Be mindful of existing dental work
Crowns, fillings, and bridges require care to avoid loosening or damage.
Use your teeth properly
Never use your teeth as tools to open packaging or bottles.
