What is Emergency Dental Care?
Emergency dental care addresses urgent situations involving your teeth, gums, or jaw. These situations often cause significant pain, discomfort, or the risk of further damage, requiring immediate attention. Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothaches or swelling
- Cracked, chipped, or knocked-out teeth
- Lost fillings, crowns, or other restorations
- Gum injuries or bleeding
- Broken dentures or dental appliances

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
- Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water, gently floss to remove debris, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root) and rinse it gently with water if dirty. Try to place it back in its socket or keep it in a container of milk or saline solution. Seek care immediately.
- Chipped or Broken Tooth: Save any pieces, rinse your mouth, and apply a cold compress to the affected area to minimize swelling.
- Lost Filling or Crown: Keep the area clean and, if possible, use dental cement or sugarless gum as a temporary fix. Contact us for a permanent solution.
