What counts as a dental emergency

Some dental problems simply cannot wait. If you are experiencing any of the following, please contact our office as soon as possible.

Swelling or a dental abscess. Facial swelling, swollen gums, or other signs of infection should never be ignored. A dental abscess can become serious if it is not treated.

Bleeding after an injury. If you have had an injury and the bleeding will not stop, seek dental care right away.

Severe toothache. Ongoing or severe tooth pain can be a sign of infection, a cracked tooth, or another issue that needs quick attention.

Cracked or broken tooth. Whether it happened from an accident, biting something hard, or everyday wear, a damaged tooth should be checked quickly to prevent further problems.

Knocked out tooth. Time matters. Acting fast can greatly improve the chance of saving your natural tooth.

Broken denture. A broken denture can make eating and speaking difficult and may cause discomfort or irritation.

Sports related dental injuries. Sports accidents can chip, break, move, or knock out teeth, and these injuries need to be checked right away.

Common causes of dental emergencies

Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, often because of an injury, an infection, or a dental problem that was not treated in time. Knowing the common causes can help you recognize when you need prompt care.

Common cause	Dental concern
Tooth decay	Untreated cavities can get worse over time and lead to severe tooth pain, infection, and the need for urgent treatment.
Cracked or broken teeth	Accidents, injuries, or biting hard foods can cause cracks or fractures that may need immediate dental care.
Dental infections	Tooth infections, abscesses, and swelling can affect your oral health and should be treated promptly. Untreated infection can lead to serious medical complications.
Sports or accidental injuries	Falls, collisions, or sports injuries can chip, break, loosen, or knock out teeth.
Lost fillings or crowns	Damaged or missing restorations can expose sensitive areas of a tooth and cause discomfort, pain or open the door for further decay.
Gum problems	Severe gum swelling, bleeding, or infection may need urgent evaluation from a dental professional.

Knocked out tooth

• Contact our office right away.

Cracked or broken tooth

• Rinse your mouth gently with warm water.

• Avoid chewing on the affected side until you are seen.

Swelling or a dental abscess
