Know the Signs

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

If you're in pain, something doesn't look or feel right, or you've had an injury to your mouth or teeth, don't wait. Common dental emergencies we treat include:

Severe or Sudden Toothache

Sharp, persistent, or worsening tooth pain can signal infection or damage that needs prompt attention.

Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Tooth

Trauma or biting down wrong can fracture a tooth — save any pieces and call us right away.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Time matters. Handle it carefully and call us immediately for the best chance of saving it.

Lost Crown or Filling

Exposed teeth are vulnerable to sensitivity and further damage until repaired.

Dental Abscess or Swelling

Swelling, fever, or a bump on the gums can indicate a serious infection that needs urgent care.

Soft Tissue Injury

Cuts or injuries to the lip, tongue, or gums should be evaluated, especially if bleeding won't stop.

When in doubt, call us. We'd rather you check in and find out it's not urgent than wait too long on something that needs attention.

First Steps

What to Do Before You Come In

Toothache

Rinse with warm water and floss gently to remove any trapped food. Avoid putting aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Save any pieces if you can. Rinse your mouth with warm water.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Handle it by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently, keep it moist (ideally place it back in the socket or in a small container of milk), and call us immediately.

Lost Crown or Filling

Avoid chewing on that side. Dental cement from a pharmacy can provide temporary protection until your appointment.
