Emergency Dentistry

Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or displaced tooth, significant dental trauma, and swelling that may indicate infection are examples of problems needing urgent attention.

Contact a dentist for guidance and evaluation. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums. Seek emergency medical care for severe swelling, breathing difficulty, or other serious symptoms.

Seek prompt evaluation for persistent severe pain, dental trauma, a loose adult tooth, signs of infection, or a broken tooth causing significant discomfort.

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve a filling, crown, root canal therapy, extraction, temporary protection, or referral for specialized care.

Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If dirty, rinse gently without scrubbing. Keep it moist in milk or an appropriate tooth-preservation solution and seek immediate dental care.

Yes. Dental infections can spread. Rapidly increasing swelling, fever with significant facial swelling, difficulty swallowing, or breathing problems require urgent medical assessment.

A dentist can assess many tooth-related emergencies. Go to an emergency department for uncontrolled bleeding, serious facial injuries, breathing or swallowing difficulty, or rapidly spreading swelling.
