Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies can encompass various urgent dental issues, including severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, cracked or broken teeth, abscesses, gum infections, and traumatic injuries to the mouth or jaw.

Symptoms of dental emergencies may include intense tooth pain, swelling of the gums or face, bleeding from the mouth, loose or knocked-out teeth, broken or cracked teeth, difficulty chewing or swallowing, and signs of infection such as fever or pus around the gums.

If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it carefully by the crown (top part) and avoid touching the roots. Rinse the tooth gently with water if it's dirty, but do not scrub it or remove any attached tissues. Try to reinsert the tooth into its socket if possible, or place it in a container of milk or saliva to keep it moist. Then, contact us immediately for emergency dental care.

Severe tooth pain or swelling may indicate an underlying dental infection or abscess. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help alleviate discomfort and reduce swelling. Avoid applying aspirin or other painkillers directly to the gums as this can cause tissue damage. Contact us promptly for an emergency appointment to diagnose and treat the issue.
