What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any issue that needs prompt care to relieve severe discomfort, stop bleeding, reduce swelling, or protect a tooth from further damage. Common reasons patients call us for emergency dentistry include:
Severe toothache or pressure that doesn’t improve
Swelling of the gums, jaw, or face
A broken or cracked tooth
A tooth that feels loose after an accident
Bleeding that won’t stop
A filling or crown that fell out and is causing pain or sensitivity
Signs of infection (for example: swelling, pus, bad taste, or a painful “pimple” on the gum)
If you suspect an infection such as an abscess, it’s important to seek care promptly. Mouth infections can worsen and may require urgent attention.
What to do right now (before you come in)
If you’re in pain or something has happened suddenly, here are a few practical steps that can help until you’re seen:
Tooth pain: Rinse gently with warm water and avoid chewing on that side.
Swelling: Use a cold compress on the outside of the face in short intervals.
Broken tooth: Save any pieces if possible and avoid very hot/cold foods.
Bleeding: Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze.
Knocked-out tooth: If you can, keep the tooth moist and call immediately.
If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or rapidly worsening swelling, seek emergency medical care.
