Emergency dentistry FAQs
These answers are general information. Your dentist can provide guidance based on an examination.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe pain, swelling, trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, and broken teeth often warrant prompt attention. When in doubt, call.
Should I go to the emergency room?
Go to emergency medical care for trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, major facial trauma, or uncontrolled bleeding.
What should I do with a knocked-out adult tooth?
Handle it by the crown, not the root. If possible, gently place it back in the socket or keep it moist in milk, and seek care immediately.
