DENTAL CARE FOR COMMON EMERGENCIES
Not all dental issues need immediate attention from an emergency dentist. Understanding which situations qualify as a dental emergency can help you decide when to seek urgent care. In many cases, over-the-counter pain medications can temporarily ease tooth or oral pain until you can come in for treatment. When you call, we will let you know if this option is suitable and guide you on the best steps to take until you arrive at our office.
KNOCKED-OUT TEETH OR CROWNS
If you have natural teeth or dental implants that have been knocked out or become loose, it is crucial to seek care right away. In some cases, emergency dentists can save a knocked-out tooth if treatment is received quickly and the tooth is handled properly. Follow these steps to maximize your chances of saving the tooth:
- Handle the tooth by the crown, avoiding contact with the roots.
- Rinse the tooth gently under flowing water to remove any debris.
- If possible, carefully place the tooth back into its socket to prevent the roots from drying out.
- If reinserting the tooth is not feasible, store it in a small container filled with milk and bring it with you to your emergency appointment.
- Use a clean cloth or gauze to gently press down in the socket to control any bleeding.
- Seek emergency dental care the same day to ensure the best outcome.
BROKEN TOOTH
Broken teeth, or tooth fractures, are common dental emergencies. If you have chipped or broken a tooth, please follow these steps:
- Rinse your mouth gently with clean water to keep the area clear.
- Applying a cold compress to the fractured tooth to help reduce swelling.
- If you are in pain, consider taking Advil for relief.
- Place any chipped or broken pieces of the tooth in a small container of milk and bring them with you to our dental office for emergency care.
INFECTED TOOTH
A toothache or pain is often a sign of an infected tooth. Delaying treatment can lead to the loss of the tooth, potentially resulting in the need for an emergency extraction.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, it is important to visit an emergency dentist:
- Severe tooth pain that escalates quickly
- Swelling of the gums or soft tissue around the affected tooth
- Bleeding near the affected tooth
- The presence of pus or an abscess on the gums
SOFT TISSUE INJURY
- If you are bleeding, gently rinse your mouth with warm saltwater.
- Apply a clean cloth or gauze to the affected area and apply gentle pressure to help control the bleeding.
- Use a cold compress to manage pain and reduce swelling.
- Seek immediate attention from an emergency dental provider or an emergency room.
LOOSE ADULT TEETH
- Avoid chewing ice or using dental floss, as these actions may dislodge the tooth further.
- If the tooth falls out, place it in a bag of milk and bring it with you to your dentist.
- Visit a dental office that offers after-hours or weekend appointments to assess your situation and determine the necessary treatment.
