Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dentistry
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Any situation involving severe pain, swelling, bleeding or trauma to the mouth may be considered a dental emergency. This includes knocked-out teeth, broken teeth and infections.
Can I wait until regular hours for a toothache?
If the toothache is mild, you may be able to wait. However, intense or throbbing pain, especially with swelling, should be treated promptly.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Try to place the tooth back in the socket or store it in milk, and contact us immediately. Time is critical for successful reattachment.
Is a chipped tooth a dental emergency?
Not always, but if the chip is large, causes pain or exposes the inner layers of the tooth, it should be treated as an emergency.
Can emergency dental care prevent tooth loss?
Yes, prompt treatment can often save a tooth that is at risk due to trauma, decay or infection.
