Signs You Need Emergency Dental Care

If you experience any of the following, contact Family Dental immediately:

Severe Toothache

Persistent or severe tooth pain may signal deep decay, infection, or nerve damage. If pain is accompanied by swelling, fever, or difficulty chewing, seek prompt treatment.

Knocked-Out Tooth

A tooth that has been completely knocked out requires immediate dental care. Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it if necessary, and keep it moist in milk or a saline solution while you travel to the clinic. Seeking treatment within 30 to 60 minutes significantly improves the chances of saving the tooth.

Chipped, Broken, or Cracked Tooth

Even a small crack can expose the sensitive inner layers of the tooth, causing pain and increasing the risk of infection. Early treatment helps preserve the tooth and prevent further damage.

Lost Crown or Filling

When a crown or filling comes loose, the exposed tooth becomes vulnerable to sensitivity, bacteria, and additional decay. Quickly replacing the restoration helps protect the remaining tooth structure.

Dental Abscess or Gum Swelling

A painful swelling, pus-filled bump, or persistent gum infection could indicate a dental abscess. If left untreated, the infection can spread to surrounding tissues and become a serious health concern.

What Should You Do During a Dental Emergency?

• Contact Family Dental immediately to schedule an emergency appointment.
• If swelling is present, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to help reduce pain and discomfort.
• If a tooth has been knocked out, keep it moist in milk or a saline solution and visit the clinic as quickly as possible.
• Avoid placing pain-relieving tablets directly on the gums, as this can damage the soft tissues.
• Do not delay treatment, as early intervention often prevents complications and helps save your natural tooth.
