What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?
If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies, call us — we can help you determine how quickly you should be seen.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A cracked, fractured, or broken tooth can expose sensitive areas and may worsen without prompt treatment.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out permanent tooth requires urgent attention — contact us immediately after the injury for the best chance of saving it.
Dental Abscess
An abscess can cause pain, swelling, tenderness, and other signs of infection and requires prompt dental assessment.
Swelling or Bleeding
Significant facial swelling or oral bleeding that doesn't stop should be assessed as soon as possible.
Dental Trauma
Falls, sports injuries, and accidents can damage teeth, gums, lips, and surrounding tissue — or dislodge crowns, bridges, or implants.

What Should I Do During a Dental Emergency?
Simple steps can help protect your teeth and make an urgent situation easier to manage.
01
Knocked-Out Tooth
Handle it by the crown, not the root. If dirty, rinse gently without scrubbing. Keep it moist and call us immediately.
02
Broken or Chipped Tooth
Rinse gently with water and save any pieces you can find. A cold compress helps with swelling.
03
Severe Toothache or Swelling
Rinse gently with warm water. Avoid placing aspirin directly against the tooth or gums.
