Is it a dental emergency?

Call us right away if you have:

A toothache that is severe or will not go away
A tooth that has been knocked out or knocked loose
A cracked, chipped or broken tooth
Swelling in your gums, face or jaw
A lost filling or crown
A broken denture or bridge
Bleeding that continues after a tooth was removed

Not sure? Call us. We would rather hear from you than have you wait in pain.

Go to the nearest hospital emergency room or call 911 if you have swelling that makes it hard to breathe or swallow, bleeding that will not stop, or a serious injury to your face or jaw.

What to do until you see us

Knocked-out tooth

Pick the tooth up by the top (the part you chew with), not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently with water. Do not scrub it. If you can, place it back in the socket and hold it there. If not, keep it in a cup of milk. Call us right away. A tooth has the best chance when it is treated within an hour.

Toothache

Rinse your mouth with warm water and floss gently around the tooth to remove any trapped food. Hold a cold compress against your cheek. Do not place a painkiller directly on the gum, as it can burn the tissue.

Broken or chipped tooth

Save any pieces you can find. Rinse your mouth with warm water. Use a cold compress on your cheek to keep swelling down.

Lost filling or crown

Keep the crown if you have it and bring it with you. Avoid chewing on that side until we can see you.

Swelling or abscess

Swelling can mean an infection, and it should be seen quickly. Call us as soon as you notice it. Rinsing with warm salt water can ease discomfort until your visit.

What to expect at your emergency visit

We listen. Tell us what happened and where it hurts.
We look. Dr. Tasic examines the area and takes an X-ray if one is needed.
We ease the pain. Getting you comfortable comes first.
We explain your options. You will know what we recommend and why before we begin.

Some problems can be fixed in one visit. Others need a short first visit to stop the pain and a second visit to finish the treatment.

Emergency dental questions

Should I go to the hospital or the dentist?

For most tooth pain, broken teeth and lost fillings, a dentist is the right place. Go to the hospital for trouble breathing or swallowing, heavy bleeding, or a serious face or jaw injury.

My tooth stopped hurting. Do I still need to come in?

Yes. Pain that goes away on its own can mean the nerve has been damaged, and the problem is often still there. It is better to have it checked.

What if my child has a dental emergency?

Call us. For a knocked-out baby tooth, do not try to put it back in. Keep your child calm and call us for advice.

How can I avoid dental emergencies?

Regular checkups catch small problems before they become painful ones. Wear a mouthguard for sports, and do not use your teeth to open packages.
