Do I Need to See an Emergency Dentist?
Dental emergencies can escalate quickly. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, you should see an emergency dentist right away:
- Severe, persistent tooth pain that doesn’t go away with over-the-counter pain medication.
- Swollen gums, face, or jaw indicating an infection.
- A broken or chipped tooth causing pain or affecting your ability to chew.
- A knocked-out tooth that needs immediate reattachment.
- Bleeding gums that won’t stop after brushing or flossing.
- A lost or broken crown, bridge, or filling exposing sensitive tooth surfaces.
Ignoring these issues can lead to serious complications, infections, and costly procedures. Call our office for same-day emergency treatment.

- Extractions for teeth that cannot be saved.

How to Handle Dental Emergencies
For Toothaches
Rinse with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relievers. Avoid very hot or cold food
For Knocked-Out Teeth
Rinse the tooth gently and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it in milk or saliva and bring it to your appointment immediately.
For Broken or Chipped Teeth
Rinse with warm water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any broken pieces.
For Swelling or Infection
Apply a cold compress to the affected area and seek immediate dental care.
