Examples of Dental Emergencies

There are many different kinds of dental emergencies. The first thing you’ll want to do in any emergency is call our office. Once you’ve done that, there are other things you can do to assuage the damage until you can see an emergency dentist:

  • A knocked-out crown or dental filling: If trauma has caused a crown or filling to fall out, try to re-attach the broken piece. This protects your soft tissue from getting scratched or poked by the broken edges. 
  • A knocked-out tooth: If you’ve dislodged an adult tooth, come to our office within two hours of the event for the best chances of reattachment, if possible. In the meantime, locate the missing tooth and try to place it back in the gum. If this proves difficult, place the tooth in a bag of milk or filtered water. You can use gauze or a clean cloth to stop any bleeding.  
  • A broken, chipped, or cracked tooth: Like with a knocked-out tooth, try and collect all the pieces you can find of the broken tooth. If your mouth starts to swell around the injury, apply an ice pack and take over-the-counter pain medication as necessary. 
  • Persistent pain in teeth or jaw: Jaw and tooth pain could be the result of an infection, an abscessed or impacted tooth, or temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Whatever the cause, come in as soon as the pain starts so we can get you on the path to recovery.
  • An abscessed tooth: A tooth becomes abscessed when an infection reaches a certain severity level and must be treated immediately. Treatment options for abscessed teeth include root canal therapy or extraction. Come to our office if you have intense tooth pain, and we’ll determine the right course of action for you.
  • Bitten tongue or lip: A strong bite to the lip or tongue can result in bleeding. If this happens, rinse and ice the wound. Apply pressure to control swelling and stop the flow of blood.

In any emergency, be sure to contact your emergency dentist right away. For patients who suffer from dental anxiety, don’t worry; sedation dentistry options are available at Almeida Dental.
