What Is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any unexpected condition involving the teeth, gums, or jaw that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, prevent further damage, or address a serious infection. 

Most common dental emergencies include: 

  • Severe or persistent tooth pain 
  • A knocked out tooth 
  • Broken, chipped, or cracked tooth 
  • Swelling due to infection or abscess 
  • Lost fillings or a broken crown 
  • Injuries causing bleeding or dental trauma 

Not sure if it qualifies? If you’re in pain or worried, it’s best to see a dentist immediately.

FAQ

1. What is considered a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling, bleeding, or signs of infection. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to contact Dental Team right away so our team can assess your situation and provide guidance.

2. What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

If your tooth is knocked out, try to gently place it back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, keep it in milk or saliva and seek immediate care. Contact Dental Team as soon as possible—acting quickly can help save your tooth.

3. Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?

Emergency rooms can help manage pain or infections, but they typically don’t provide full dental treatment. For proper care, it’s best to visit a dental provider like Dental Team, where we can treat the root cause of the issue.

4. How quickly should I be seen for a dental emergency?

You should be seen as soon as possible—ideally the same day. At Dental Team, we prioritize emergency cases and do our best to offer prompt, same-day appointments whenever available.

5. How can I manage dental pain before my appointment?

You can rinse your mouth with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain relievers, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums. Then contact Dental Team so we can provide the care you need as quickly as possible.
