FAQ Emergency Dentistry
What counts as a true dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, facial swelling, a knocked-out tooth, a broken restoration (like a crown), or any dental trauma that causes persistent bleeding or discomfort.
If my tooth pain stops, do I still need to come in?
Yes. Pain that disappears can sometimes mean a nerve has died or an infection is progressing. It is always safer to have it evaluated before it becomes a larger issue.
Can you treat a dental infection the same day?
Our focus is on controlling the infection and relieving your pain immediately. This may involve starting treatment or prescribing medication to stabilize the area.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Contact us immediately; time is critical to saving the tooth.
Is swelling in the gums or jaw serious?
Yes. Swelling is often a sign of an abscess or infection. These can spread to other parts of the body if not treated promptly by a dentist.
Will I need a follow-up appointment after an emergency?
In many cases, the emergency visit stabilizes the problem. Depending on the damage, a follow-up may be scheduled to provide a permanent restoration like a crown or filling.
