Common Dental Emergencies

A dental emergency can take many forms. Here are some of the most common situations we treat:

If you experience any of these issues, contact us immediately.

• Severe Toothache – Sudden, unbearable pain often indicates infection or decay that requires immediate attention
• Broken or Chipped Tooth – Whether from trauma or decay, a broken tooth can be painful and vulnerable to further damage
• Knocked-Out Tooth – A tooth that\'s been completely dislodged may be savable if treated quickly
• Loose or Displaced Tooth – Damage to the root or bone around the tooth can cause it to shift or loosen
• Severe Gum Bleeding – Uncontrolled bleeding can indicate serious gum disease or injury
• Abscess or Infection – Swelling in the gums or face indicates a serious infection that needs immediate care
• Jaw Pain or Injury – Trauma to the jaw requires prompt evaluation
• Lost Filling or Crown – Exposure of the underlying tooth structure can cause pain and sensitivity

Immediate Care for Common Emergencies

While waiting for your appointment, here are some steps you can take to manage your emergency:

These steps can help manage pain and preserve your tooth until Dr. Chan can provide professional care.

• For a Severe Toothache – Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain medication, and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek
• For a Chipped or Broken Tooth – Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, apply a cold compress, and avoid chewing on that tooth
• For a Knocked-Out Tooth – Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water (do not scrub), and try to reinsert it into the socket. If you can\'t insert it, place it in a cup of milk or saliva and bring it with you to your appointment. Time is critical -see us within 30 minutes if possible
• For a Loose Tooth – Avoid chewing on the tooth, apply a cold compress, and bite on a clean cloth to stabilize it
• For Severe Gum Bleeding – Apply pressure with a clean cloth, rinse with salt water, and avoid the area while eating
