What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Not sure if your situation is an emergency? Here are the most common dental emergencies we treat:

• Severe toothache — Intense or throbbing pain that doesn’t go away with over-the-counter pain relief
• Knocked-out tooth — Time is critical; a tooth can often be saved if you act within 30–60 minutes
• Cracked or broken tooth — Especially if accompanied by sharp pain or sensitivity
• Lost filling or crown — Leaves the tooth exposed and vulnerable to further damage
• Dental abscess — A bacterial infection that can spread if left untreated; symptoms include swelling, fever, and throbbing pain
• Bleeding gums that won’t stop — Can indicate injury or serious infection
• Broken dentures or orthodontic appliances — Causing pain or inability to eat

What to Do Before You Reach Us

While you’re on your way to our clinic or waiting for your appointment, here’s what to do:

• Knocked-out tooth: Keep it moist — place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk or between your cheek and gum. Do not rinse with water or let it dry out.
• Severe toothache: Rinse with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relief (ibuprofen is generally best for dental pain). Do not place aspirin directly on the gum.
• Cracked tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Lost crown or filling: Dental wax or sugar-free gum can temporarily cover the exposed area until you’re seen.
• Abscess: Rinse with mild saltwater. Do not attempt to drain it yourself — this requires professional treatment.
