EMERGENCY DENTISTRY FAQ
Got questions? We've got answers! Check out our FAQ for more info!
How do I find the right dentist?
It is most important to make sure that you find someone who is a good fit for you and/or your family. Make sure you are comfortable talking/communicating with your dental team. It’s helpful to have a dentist that is nearby and convenient to get to. Make sure the dentist is a member of the ADA (American Dental Association). Is the office clean and professional?
I have anxiety about going to the dentist. What can I do?
You are not alone! Many people have a fear about visiting the dentist. Please communicate with us and we can ease your fears. There are many options, including different pain relieving techniques to help during your treatments.
What constitutes a dental emergency and what do I do?
In general, a dental emergency is pain, sudden swelling, and an unbearable discomfort in the mouth, gums, teeth, and/or jaw. More specifically:
Toothache/Swelling:
Clean the area and make a dental appointment as soon as you can, preferably the next day. Swelling is likely due to an infection. If the swelling causes difficulty breathing or your eye to become swollen, head to the emergency room.
Knocked Out/Broken Tooth (Baby Teeth):
DO NOT TRY TO REIMPLANT A BABY TOOTH! Any attempt to do so could cause additional harm.
If there is bleeding, apply pressure.
Rinse the mouth.
You may give your child a tylenol, if they are having pain.
Knocked Out/Broken Tooth (Permanent Teeth):
Find the tooth.
DO NOT handle the tooth by the root. Be sure to hold only the crown.
ONLY rinse the tooth - DO NOT clean it or over handle the tooth.
If the tooth is free of fractures/not broken, you can try to reinsert the tooth into the gum.
Place gauze under the tooth and gently bite down to hold the tooth in place.
If you cannot replace the tooth into the gum, put the tooth into a container filled with the patient’s saliva or milk. The tooth can also be carried in the patient's mouth. However, be certain that they are calm enough not to swallow it or accidentally damage it.
Call our emergency number IMMEDIATELY.
Time is of the essence when it comes to saving a tooth.
Damaged Tongue/Cheek/Lip:
If there is bleeding, apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
If bleeding doesn’t stop within 15 minutes or is uncontrollable with gentle pressure, go to the emergency room.
If the bleeding stops, apply ice to bruised areas.
Make an appointment with us.
Head Injury:
Go immediately to the emergency room.
Are there dentists in emergency rooms?
Hospital emergency rooms typically do not have a dentist on staff; patients are prescribed antibiotics and painkillers and are told to visit their dentist. Of course, if the patient had an oral care provider, they would not be in the emergency room to begin with.
Why do I need a dental x-ray?
X-rays are taken to make sure that there are no dental problems that the dentist can’t see. We advise yearly x-rays to help prevent and catch any dental illness before it gets out of hand. An x-ray can show decay, infections, disease, abnormalities, and abscesses, to name a few. The amount of radiation from a dental x-ray is very small. Even though there are very few risks associated with dental x-rays, we take every safeguard possible to minimize any exposure to radiation, including lead aprons. As with any x-rays, the benefits outweigh the risks; it is far better to have the small amount of radiation than to deal with the risk of undetected dental issues.
What do I do if there is an object caught in between my teeth?
If there is some food or a small object stuck between your teeth, first try to gently remove it with dental floss. Do not use sharp objects (like a pin) because it may cause damage. If you cannot remove it, make a dental appointment ASAP.
What do I do if I fractured my jaw?
If you believe that you have a jaw fracture, you need to immediately seek medical attention. If you have had a head injury, call 911 or head directly to the emergency room. A severe head injury can be life-threatening.
What are some tips to avoid a dental emergency?
Use a mouthguard when playing sports/physical activities.
Avoid chewing hard candies, popcorn kernels and ice.
Never use your teeth to cut things. Use scissors!
Can I save a tooth that has been knocked out or dislodged?
