Get answers to common questions.
A dental emergency generally involves any situation requiring immediate treatment to stop ongoing tissue bleeding, alleviate severe pain, or save a tooth. Common examples include:
Time is the most critical factor. Try to see a dentist within 30 to 60 minutes.
First, rinse your mouth with warm water and gently use dental floss to ensure no food is trapped between the teeth. If the pain persists or is accompanied by swelling, contact an emergency dentist. Do not place aspirin or any other painkiller directly against the gums near the aching tooth, as this can burn the gum tissue.
An abscess is a serious infection that usually occurs around the root of a tooth or in the space between the teeth and gums. It often looks like a painful, pimple-like swelling on the gum. Because infections can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated, an abscess is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention.
It depends on the severity. A minor chip can often wait for a regular appointment. However, if the crack is deep, extends below the gum line, or causes intense pain, it is an emergency. Rinse with warm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of the face to reduce any potential swelling until you can get to the office.
While uncomfortable, a lost filling or crown is usually not a “life-threatening” emergency, but it should be addressed quickly to prevent decay or the tooth shifting. You can use a small piece of sugarless gum or over-the-counter dental cement to temporarily fill the cavity or “glue” the crown back in place until you see the dentist.
For most dental emergencies, you can manage discomfort by:
Call as soon as you notice a problem you cannot manage at home — severe or worsening pain, a tooth that has been knocked out or badly broken, swelling in the gum or face, bleeding that will not stop, or a lost filling or crown that has left a tooth sharp or sensitive. Calling early usually means more treatment options are still open to you.
If you have swelling that is affecting your breathing or swallowing, difficulty opening your mouth, or bleeding you cannot control, treat it as a medical emergency and go to your nearest emergency room rather than waiting for a dental appointment.
We start by asking what happened and where it hurts, then examine the area and usually take a digital X-ray to see what is going on below the surface. Treatment on the day is generally aimed at relieving pain and stabilising the tooth — that might mean draining an infection, replacing a lost filling or crown, smoothing a sharp edge, or beginning a root canal.
Longer-term repairs, such as a same-day crown or a dental implant to replace a tooth that cannot be saved, are planned once the urgent problem is under control.
Yes. When a tooth is too damaged or too badly infected to save, extraction may be the right option, and it can often be carried out during an emergency visit. We will explain why it is being recommended and talk through your replacement options before going ahead.
If you are anxious about treatment, IV sedation and nitrous sedation are available at this office.
