What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate dental care to save a tooth, stop ongoing tissue bleeding, alleviate severe pain, or treat a severe dental infection. Some of the most common emergencies include:
  • Intense toothaches or sensitivity
  • Broken, chipped, or knocked-out teeth
  • Swollen or bleeding gums
  • Abscessed teeth
  • Loose or missing dental work like fillings or crowns
  • Trauma or injuries to the mouth, jaw, or face

When to See an Emergency Dentist

Seek immediate dental care if you experience any of the following:

  • Persistent tooth pain, especially if it hinders sleep or daily activities
  • Visible damage to a tooth, like cracks or chips
  • A fully or partially dislodged tooth
  • Uncontrolled bleeding from gums or mouth
  • Severe swelling or knots on the gums
  • Extreme dental sensitivity to temperature or touch
  • Loose dental hardware

Remember, early intervention can prevent complications and save your natural teeth.

Handling Dental Emergencies

While our team at Orange Premier Dental is equipped to handle emergencies with expert care, there are steps you can take to manage the situation before reaching our office:
  • Stay Calm: Panicking can worsen the situation. Take deep breaths and focus on getting the necessary help.
  • Cold Compress: Apply a cold pack to the affected area for 15 minutes to reduce pain and swelling.
  • Rinse: Gently rinse your mouth with warm water.
  • Preserve Knocked-out Teeth: Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root) and rinse off any dirt. If possible, place the tooth back in its socket. If not, store it in a container of milk or water with a pinch of salt.
  • Avoid Aspirin: Stick to pain relievers like ibuprofen, as aspirin can cause bleeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

A dental emergency is any oral health issue that requires immediate attention. This can range from a severe toothache, broken or chipped tooth, knocked-out tooth, abscess or swelling, lost filling or crown, and any trauma or injury to the mouth.
For most dental emergencies, it’s best to see a dentist as they have the specialized tools and training to handle such situations. However, for severe traumas, such as a broken jaw or severe bleeding, it’s advisable to visit an emergency room first.
Over-the-counter pain relievers, like ibuprofen, can help reduce discomfort. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water can also soothe pain. However, it’s crucial to avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums or tooth as it can cause burns.
Retrieve the tooth, holding it by the crown (top) and not the root. Rinse it gently without scrubbing. If possible, try to reinsert it into its socket. If that isn’t possible, store it in a container of milk or saltwater. Seek dental care immediately.
Yes, especially if action is taken promptly. Reinserting the tooth within an hour of it being knocked out can increase the chances of saving it.
While it might not always cause immediate pain, a lost filling or crown can expose your tooth to further damage or decay. It’s essential to see a dentist as soon as possible to address the issue.
Regular dental check-ups, wearing mouth guards during physical activities, avoiding hard foods that can crack teeth, and practicing good oral hygiene can reduce the risk of dental emergencies.
The cost of emergency dental treatments can vary based on the nature of the issue and the required procedures. While some treatments might be more expensive due to the urgency and complexity, addressing the problem immediately can often save costs in the long run by preventing more severe issues.
