Consumption of certain types of food or drink can sometimes cause sudden and sharp pain. More often than not, such pain is caused by the formation of cavities in the mouth. In order to get timely treatment and quick relief from pain, we suggest you receive emergency dental care.

Sometimes accidents or injuries can lead to excessive bleeding of the mouth. Gingivitis is a common cause of pain and severe bleeding of the gums. If you have noticed any bleeding in your mouth, call us immediately to book an appointment.

Injury, dehydration, bacterial infection, and sores in the mouth are some of the many causes of swelling and inflammation. Our dentists will provide you with a thorough examination to determine the cause of the swelling and provide you with treatment options.

Bad oral hygiene, unhealthy dietary habits, nutrient deficiency, and a host of other reasons can lead to mouth infections. If you have started noticing signs like bitter taste, bad breath, pain, inflamed gums, or a fever, it’s time to seek emergency dental care before the infection aggravates.

Broken Teeth, With or Without Pain

If your tooth has been displaced or knocked out, you must seek emergency dental care even if the situation is not particularly painful. This is because knocked-out teeth, if not broken, may be able to be reattached if you reach out to your dentist in time.

If a filling falls out of your tooth, call us to make an appointment as soon as possible. The purpose of the filling was to cover a hole created by a cavity, meaning food and debris can become trapped now that the hole is exposed. As a result, your tooth is more susceptible to decay, so do not wait to replace your filling. Try to keep the area clean and avoid chewing on the affected side until your appointment.

Crowns are built to last, but they can occasionally fall off your tooth prematurely. If this happens to you, don't panic. Call our office right away for an appointment. Ideally, you should receive dental care the day your crown falls out. You can cover your tooth with temporary dental cement or wax from a pharmacy to alleviate some of the discomfort you might be feeling. If you still have your crown, rinse it gently with warm water and place it in a container to bring to your appointment. Often, we can reattach your existing crown which can save you the money and time of having a new one created.

What is a Dental Emergency?

To put it simply, a dental emergency is anything that requires emergency dental assistance to control bleeding, pain and swelling. Dental emergencies make it impossible for you to carry on with your daily activities and worsen if ignored. Some signs that point to a dental emergency include:

Severe Pain

Consumption of certain types of food or drink can sometimes cause sudden and sharp pain. More often than not, such pain is caused by the formation of cavities in the mouth. In order to get timely treatment and quick relief from pain, we suggest you receive emergency dental care.
Continual Bleeding

Sometimes accidents or injuries can lead to excessive bleeding of the mouth. Gingivitis is a common cause of pain and severe bleeding of the gums. If you have noticed any bleeding in your mouth, call us immediately to book an appointment.
Swelling

Injury, dehydration, bacterial infection, and sores in the mouth are some of the many causes of swelling and inflammation. Our dentists will provide you with a thorough examination to determine the cause of the swelling and provide you with treatment options.
Signs of Infection

Bad oral hygiene, unhealthy dietary habits, nutrient deficiency, and a host of other reasons can lead to mouth infections. If you have started noticing signs like bitter taste, bad breath, pain, inflamed gums, or a fever, it’s time to seek emergency dental care before the infection aggravates.
Broken Teeth, With or Without Pain

If your tooth has been displaced or knocked out, you must seek emergency dental care even if the situation is not particularly painful. This is because knocked-out teeth, if not broken, may be able to be reattached if you reach out to your dentist in time.

Why Should I Treat a Dental Emergency Immediately?

Certain dental emergencies need to be dealt with instantaneously to minimize both damage and costs. For instance, as soon as a tooth is knocked out, its root starts to die. The window of time to successfully reinsert the tooth is rather small. The same holds true for cracked or broken teeth—immediate treatment is very important to save the tooth and prevent further damage.

Depending on your level of pain, some dental emergencies can wait until the next day, such as smaller toothaches or hot and cold sensitivity. Still, reducing your pain level as soon as possible is a good idea.
