Common Dental Emergencies
Tooth pain
Tooth pain can be triggered by many different factors - sinusitis could mimic a severe toothache, a fractured tooth could hurt when you bite down, or a flare-up infection could cause swelling.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
A chipped or broken tooth due to any type of trauma is a dental emergency. It should always be examined with proper radiographs and detailed intra-oral assessment.
Knocked-out tooth
If your tooth is knocked out, it is a dental emergency that needs immediate attention. If brought early enough, our dentist may be able to reinsert the tooth back into the socket and save it.
Soft-tissue Injuries
Any injury to the soft tissues can result in bleeding of the tongue, cheeks, gums, or lips. In case of severe bleeding in the mouth, you should see a dentist right away.

Dental Emergency Treatments
In case of a dental emergency, it is crucial to remain calm and take immediate action to ensure proper care and minimize any potential complications. Here's what you should do:
Assess the Severity
The first step is determining the severity of the issue. Minor problems like a chipped tooth may require less urgent attention than severe pain or excessive bleeding.
Contact Our Dentist
The next step is to reach out to our dentist as soon as possible. Explain the situation clearly, providing details about the problem or discomfort you are experiencing.
Handle a Knocked-out Tooth
If your tooth gets knocked out, carefully pick it up by the crown without touching the root. Place the tooth back into its socket if possible or store it in milk until you can see our dentist.
Manage a Cracked Tooth
In case of a cracked tooth, rinse your mouth gently with warm water and apply cold compresses on the affected area externally to reduce swelling. Avoid biting down on hard foods or objects.
Control Bleeding
If excessive bleeding occurs, use clean gauze pads to apply firm but gentle pressure directly onto the area for about 10-15 minutes. This will help promote clot formation and stop the bleeding.
Relieve Pain
To alleviate dental pain temporarily before reaching professional help, over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen can be taken following manufacturer instructions.
