Examples of dental emergencies include;

• Severe toothache or pain in the mouth
• Damaged teeth 
• Knocking out tooth 
• Loose or broken fillings and crowns in the dental structure 
• Gum swelling, facial, or jaw swellings

Dental Emergencies with Symptoms and What to Do Common

Severe Toothache

A persistent toothache can be a sign of infection, cavity, or damage to the root of the tooth. Rinse your mouth with warm water, floss gently to remove any debris, and do not place aspirin directly on the gums. Call us immediately to schedule emergency dental care.

Knocked-Out Tooth

If a tooth has been knocked out, act quickly to increase the chances of saving it:

• Pick up the tooth by the crown (top), avoiding the roots.
• Soak the tooth in water (don't scrub).
• Try to insert the tooth back into its socket. If this isn't feasible, place it in a mug of milk or saliva.
• Seek our emergency care here immediately.

Broken, Split or Cracked Tooth

Broken or chipped teeth can be agonizing and leave your tooth exposed to infection. Rinse your mouth with warm water, salvage any fragments, and use an ice compress to reduce swelling. Come into our office immediately.

Dental Abscess

A dental abscess is a serious condition caused by a bacterial infection. Symptoms include swelling, fever, and intense pain. If left untreated, an abscess can spread to other parts of the body. Contact us right away for treatment.
