What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency involves any oral health issue that requires prompt attention to alleviate pain, stop bleeding, or prevent permanent damage. Common emergencies include:
- Sudden, severe tooth pain or throbbing
- Knocked-out or loosened teeth due to trauma
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Painful abscesses or infections causing swelling
- Lost crowns, fillings, or dental appliances
- Injuries to the mouth’s soft tissues such as gums, tongue, lips, or cheeks
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, seeking immediate professional dental care is crucial. Delaying treatment can lead to worsening pain, infection, or tooth loss.

What to Do During a Dental Emergency
If you’re dealing with a dental emergency, there are steps you can take to reduce pain and protect your teeth before reaching our office:
- Knocked-out tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently if dirty, and store it in milk or your saliva. Call us immediately.
- Chipped or broken tooth: Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on the injured side.
- Severe toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relievers as needed.
