When to Call for Emergency Dental Care

We recommend contacting our office as soon as possible if you have:

  • Severe toothache or persistent dental pain
  • A cracked, chipped, fractured, or broken tooth
  • A tooth that is loose or knocked out (partially or completely)
  • Swelling of the gums, jaw, or face
  • Bleeding or injury to the lips, tongue, cheeks, or gums
  • A lost filling or crown that’s causing pain or sensitivity

If you’re unsure whether your issue is an emergency, call us, we’ll help you understand the next best step.

What to Do Until You’re Seen

While you’re waiting to come in, a few simple steps can help protect the tooth and reduce discomfort:

Toothache

Rinse gently with warm water and avoid chewing on that side.

Broken or chipped tooth

Save any pieces if possible and avoid hard foods.

Knocked-out tooth

If you can, place it back in the socket gently or keep it in milk and call us immediately.

Lost crown or filling

Keep the area clean and avoid sticky or hard foods.

For safety, avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums or tooth.
