What is a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies are any dental problems that need immediate treatment to stop bleeding, save a tooth, treat a severe infection, or alleviate severe pain. Severe infections or tooth abscesses can be life-threatening and you should call your dentist immediately. If your dentist is unavailable, seek urgent care at your nearest medical facility.

If any of the following statements apply to you, you are having a dental emergency and should contact us immediately.

I have a tooth knocked out.
My tooth has been chipped or cracked.
My mouth is bleeding and won’t stop.
I’m in extreme pain or am experiencing severe swelling in my gums, mouth, or jaw.
I have a toothache and swelling in my cheeks or face.
My jaw is injured.
My teeth are extremely sensitive and the sensitivity will not subside.
My tooth is loose or out of alignment.

Home Care for Dental Emergencies

Pick up the tooth by the top (crown), NOT by the root—do not touch the root.
Rinse the tooth very gently with only water, no soaps or chemicals. Do NOT scrub the tooth.
If possible, place the tooth back into the socket. Gently push it in with your fingers then hold it in place while trying to bite down.
If you can’t place the tooth back into the socket, put it in a container with milk.
Contact your dentist right away—the faster you act, the more likely it is that your tooth will be able to be reimplanted.

If you have a chipped or cracked tooth, contact your dentist right away. Chipped teeth that aren’t painful can usually be smoothed out or filled in at a regular dental appointment. A cracked tooth typically indicates that there’s damage to the inside of the tooth, as well as the outside. If your tooth is cracked please follow these steps, after contacting your dentist.

Rinse your mouth with warm water
Apply a cold compress to minimize swelling
Take acetaminophen (not aspirin) to alleviate pain
Do NOT apply any pain medication—including Orajel—directly to the gums, as it can damage gum tissue
