Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Emergencies
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency typically involves severe pain, bleeding, or trauma to the teeth or gums. Common examples include knocked-out teeth, severe toothache, broken or chipped teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and abscesses or infections.
How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?
We strive to see emergency cases as soon as possible, often on the same day. Our goal is to address your pain and stabilize the dental emergency quickly.
Will my insurance cover emergency dental care?
Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for emergency care, but the extent varies. We recommend checking with your provider. Our office also offers various payment options to ensure you receive the necessary treatment.
How can I manage pain until my emergency appointment?
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage pain. Applying a cold compress to the face near the affected area can also reduce swelling and discomfort. Avoid applying heat or taking aspirin directly on the gums as it may worsen the situation.
Can knocked-out teeth be saved?
If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (top part), not the root. Rinse it gently without scrubbing and try to reinsert it in the socket. If that's not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva and come to us immediately. Knocked-out teeth have the best chance of being saved if treated within an hour.
