FAQ

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, broken or cracked teeth, knocked-out teeth, loose or displaced teeth, broken crowns or fillings, soft tissue injuries, or swollen and painful gums. If you’re experiencing any of these, you should seek immediate care.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

If a permanent tooth is knocked out, gently rinse it with water (without scrubbing), try placing it back into the socket if possible, or keep it in a container of milk. Then, get to an emergency dentist immediately—time is critical for saving the tooth.

How quickly should I see a dentist for severe tooth pain?

Severe or sudden tooth pain can indicate infection, decay, or another urgent issue. You should see a dentist right away to prevent further complications and get fast pain relief.
