Common Dental Emergencies They Can Treat
You should seek emergency dental care for:
- Severe toothache (constant, worsening, or keeping you awake)
- Swelling of the gums, face, or jaw
- Abscess/infection signs (pimple on the gum, bad taste, pus, fever)
- Knocked-out tooth (time-sensitive)
- Cracked or broken tooth (especially with pain or bleeding)
- Lost filling or crown causing pain/sensitivity
- Bleeding after dental trauma
- Wisdom tooth pain with swelling or suspected infection
What to Do While You Arrange Care
- Rinse gently with warm salt water (if you can)
- Apply a cold compress on the outside of your cheek if you have swelling
- Take pain medication as directed on the label (only if safe for you)
- Do not put aspirin directly on the gum/tooth
- If a tooth was knocked out: keep it moist (milk/saline if available) and get care immediately
Go for urgent medical care if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial swelling, or high fever.
What Happens at an Emergency Visit
An emergency appointment typically includes:
- Quick exam to identify the cause of pain/injury
