Emergency Dentistry FAQs
Here are some of the questions we often hear from our patients about emergency dentistry.
What constitutes a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation involving the teeth, gums, or mouth that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, abscesses, and lost fillings or crowns.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
If you knock out a tooth, it’s crucial to act quickly. Handle the tooth by the crown (the top part), rinse it gently with water, and try to reinsert it into the socket if possible. If not, place the tooth in a container of milk or saliva and contact us immediately. The sooner you seek treatment, the better the chances of saving the tooth.
How can I manage a toothache until I can see a dentist?
To temporarily relieve a toothache, rinse your mouth with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain medication as directed, and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the affected area.
What are the signs of a dental abscess?
A dental abscess is a serious infection that requires immediate attention. Signs include a persistent, throbbing toothache, swelling in the face or gums, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, and a bad taste in the mouth.
Do you offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies?
Yes, we understand the urgency of dental emergencies and strive to offer same-day appointments whenever possible. Please call us immediately, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you as quickly as we can.
What should I expect during an emergency dental visit?
During your emergency visit, we will assess your situation, provide pain relief if needed, and address the underlying cause of your problem. Treatment may involve procedures such as tooth extraction, root canal therapy, or repair of damaged teeth.
Will my dental insurance cover emergency treatment?
Most dental insurance plans provide some coverage for emergency dental care. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your specific benefits.
What if I don't have dental insurance?
We offer flexible payment options to help make emergency dental care accessible for everyone. Please don’t hesitate to contact us even if you don’t have insurance, and we’ll work with you to find a solution.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
Maintaining good oral hygiene, wearing a mouthguard during sports activities, and avoiding chewing on hard objects can significantly reduce the risk of dental emergencies. Regular dental checkups also allow us to identify and address any potential problems before they become urgent.
What should I do if I'm unsure whether my situation is a dental emergency?
If you’re experiencing severe pain, bleeding, or swelling in your mouth, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and contact us for guidance. We’re happy to assess your situation and advise you on the best course of action.
