Frequently
Asked Questions
What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, swelling, bleeding, broken or knocked-out teeth, or signs of infection. If you’re unsure, call us, and we’ll guide you on what to do next.
Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
Yes, but time is critical! Gently rinse the tooth, avoid touching the root, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it in milk and contact us immediately.
How do I know if my toothache is an emergency?
If the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling, fever, or difficulty chewing, it’s time to seek urgent care. Toothaches can indicate serious infections or decay.
What should I do if I break a tooth?
Rinse your mouth with warm water, save any fragments, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on the affected side, and call us right away for same-day care.
Will my insurance cover emergency dental care?
Many insurance plans cover emergency visits and treatments. Our team will gladly verify your coverage and provide cost estimates before proceeding with treatment.
Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
For life-threatening issues involving breathing or swallowing, head to the ER. For most dental emergencies, seeing a dentist is the best option for immediate relief and proper care.
How can I manage pain before my appointment?
Over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses can help reduce pain and swelling.
Can you treat my emergency if I’ve never been to your office?
Yes! We welcome new patients, especially during emergencies. Our goal is to provide fast, effective relief and help you get back to feeling your best.
What if I lose a crown or filling?
Keep the area clean, avoid chewing on that side, and call us as soon as possible. We’ll schedule a same-day appointment to repair or replace the restoration.
How do I prevent dental emergencies?
Preventive care is key! Regular checkups, using a mouthguard during sports, and avoiding hard objects like ice or pens can reduce your risk of emergencies.
