Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency requires immediate attention to alleviate severe pain, stop active bleeding, or save a tooth. Common emergencies include:
- Severe tooth pain
- A knocked-out tooth
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Abscesses or infections
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Swelling or bleeding in the mouth
What should I do if I have a knocked-out tooth?
Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that’s not possible, keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and get to us immediately. The sooner you act, the higher the chances of saving the tooth.
How can I alleviate dental pain before reaching the dentist?
Over-the-counter pain relievers can offer temporary relief. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, as it can burn tissue. Applying a cold compress to your face near the affected area can also help reduce pain and swelling.
Can a lost filling or crown be an emergency?
Yes, losing a filling or crown exposes your tooth to further damage. If possible, bring the lost filling or crown with you. You can temporarily fill the gap with dental wax or over-the-counter cement, but don’t use household glue.
Should I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
For most dental emergencies, it’s best to contact a dentist directly. However, if you're experiencing severe swelling affecting your breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, or facial bone trauma, you should go to the ER.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
While not all dental emergencies can be avoided, regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and wearing a mouthguard during sports can significantly reduce your risk.
What are my options if I have a dental emergency after hours?
We offer after-hours emergency care or can guide you to nearby options. It's always a good idea to know where to turn for urgent care in advance. If you're unable to reach a dentist and need immediate help, visiting the ER may be necessary.
Will my insurance cover emergency dental treatments?
Insurance coverage for emergency care depends on your plan. Many insurers cover emergency services, but it's important to review your policy or contact your provider for details.
