When a Tooth Trouble Turns Urgent
The dentist encourages patients to reach out at the first sign of a problem. Even minor symptoms can signal a bigger issue. Acting early helps the doctor save more teeth and ease pain faster. Patients don’t need to wait and wonder. The doctor helps determine the next step quickly. Here are some of the most common dental emergencies we treat:
- Toothaches that come on suddenly or won’t go away
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
- Abscesses or swelling around the gums
- Broken crowns, bridges, or fillings
- Loose teeth
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Soft tissue injuries in the mouth

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
We know panic can set in fast. But a few smart steps can protect your teeth and make treatment easier. The dentist recommends these simple actions while you get to our office:
1. For a knocked-out tooth:
Handle it by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently with water, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s impossible, store it in milk and bring it.
2. For a broken tooth:
Rinse your mouth with warm water. Save any pieces you can find. Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
3. For a severe toothache:
Rinse with warm salt water. Avoid aspirin on the gums. Call us immediately so we can find the cause and relieve the pain.
4. For bleeding or swelling:
Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze and use a cold compress. The dentist will assess the injury and stop the bleeding safely.
5. For broken dental work:
Bring any loose crowns, bridges, or fillings. The doctor will assess damage and repair or replace the restoration.
We treat emergencies with urgency, clarity, and compassion—because every minute matters when pain is involved.
