What Is a Dental Emergency?

Understanding the Basics

The most obvious dental emergencies include oral injuries like loose, knocked-out, cracked, and damaged teeth. However, serious toothaches and loose or missing dental work also count as dental emergencies.

If you have a dental issue that is causing you serious bleeding, pain, or discomfort and you do not know how to treat it on your own, you’re experiencing a dental emergency. Schedule an appointment at our office right away to get help.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Knocked-Out Teeth, Missing/Loose Dental Work

A knocked-out tooth is one of the most serious dental emergencies and you must be treated within 1-2 hours to save it.

• First, call our office to tell us about your issue so that we can prepare for your visit.
• Next, recover your tooth. Grab it by the crown, not the fragile root to avoid damaging it.
• Rinse it with warm water if it is dirty.
• Try to gently replace the tooth in its socket. If this is not possible, put it in a baggie or container of cold milk to keep the root alive until your appointment.
• Once your tooth is secured, come to our office immediately to have it splinted and replaced.

Missing/loose dental work is also a serious dental emergency.

• If possible, recover your filling, crown, or other dental work before coming in. We may be able to simply reattach it in some cases.
• Call us for an appointment and come in right away to have your dental work repaired or replaced.
