How to Respond to a Dental Emergency
If a dental emergency happens at home or outside of office hours, here are immediate steps you can take before reaching our office:
- For a knocked-out tooth: Handle it by the crown, rinse it gently, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk and bring it with you.
- For a severe toothache: Rinse with warm salt water and use a cold compress on your cheek. Do not apply aspirin directly to the gums.
- For a broken or cracked tooth: Rinse your mouth, save any fragments, and cover sharp edges with dental wax if needed.
- For swelling or abscesses: Do not try to drain it yourself. Apply cold compresses and seek immediate care to avoid infection spreading.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Services
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency typically involves pain, swelling, bleeding, or damage to the teeth or gums that requires immediate attention. Examples include a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or broken restoration.
Should I go to the ER or an emergency dentist?
Most dental emergencies are best treated by a dentist. ERs are not equipped to provide dental procedures like extractions or root canals. Call our office first — we can usually provide same-day care.
What if I break a crown or filling?
Call us immediately. In many cases, we can repair or replace the crown or filling on the same day to prevent further damage.
Do you offer sedation during emergency procedures?
Yes, we offer nitrous oxide sedation to help keep patients comfortable and relaxed during urgent treatments.
Will insurance cover emergency dental care?
We accept most major dental insurance plans. Coverage for emergency services varies depending on your provider. Visit our patient info page for details about insurance and financing.
