What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Not all dental concerns require immediate treatment, but certain problems should be addressed right away to avoid pain, infection, or permanent damage.

• Severe Toothache Persistent pain that does not improve with brushing or flossing.
• Fractured or Broken Tooth Cracks or breaks that expose inner tooth structures.
• Dental Abscess Infection with swelling, throbbing pain, or discharge.
• Luxated Tooth A tooth displaced from its normal position.
• Knocked-Out Tooth A tooth completely out of its socket requiring urgent care.

First Aid Tips Until You Reach Our Office

Knowing how to respond at home can help preserve your tooth and reduce discomfort. Always treat sudden pain, injury, or swelling as an urgent matter.

• Rinse gently and avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums for toothaches.
• Use a cold compress for fractured teeth to reduce pain and swelling.
• Rinse with warm salt water to ease discomfort from abscesses.
• Do not force a luxated tooth back into place—seek care immediately.
• Keep a knocked-out tooth moist in milk or a preservation kit until you arrive.
