What Is Emergency Dentistry?
Emergency dentistry covers a range of services that are needed to get you out of pain and back to your normal life. These appointments usually occur outside of your normal biannual dentist visits, and the focus is on a specific issue. Emergency dental care ranges from emergency root canal therapy and restoring a chipped tooth to addressing a loose or knocked out (avulsed) tooth.
When you visit us for an emergency, we work quickly to get you back to our dentist. Our goal is to relieve your pain as fast as possible. We'll begin with an examination of the affected area and then recommend treatments. You'll be given ample information during every step of the process so you always know what we're doing and why.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
When you have extreme pain in your teeth, gums, or jaws, then you know that you need prompt dental care. However, there can be times when you aren't sure if you require urgent dental treatment. Some of the most common signs you should receive emergency dentistry include the following.
- Cut on the gum or cheek
- Abscess on the gum
- Loose or knocked-out tooth
- Fractured or broken tooth
- Swollen, painful, or bleeding gums
- Severe pain in the teeth or jaws
- Discolored or gray tooth
- Bad taste that does not go away

When you have a dental emergency, you can call our office, and we'll assess your situation over the phone. You can always trust us to do everything we can to get you into our office quickly and out of pain. If your emergency happens after hours, don't hesitate to visit your local hospital if needed.
If your tooth has been knocked out, then you can gently pick up the tooth by the crown and place it in a glass of milk after you have gently rinsed it off with clean water. It's important to avoid touching the root of the tooth. If possible, you can also gently place the tooth back into the socket and hold it there while on the way to our office. Time is of the essence, and it's vital that you get to our dentist within 30 minutes to an hour.
If you have a broken or lost dental restoration, then you can call our office, and we will schedule an appointment to create a new custom restoration or reattach the old one if possible.
