Common Dental Emergencies

Not sure if it's an emergency? When in doubt, call us. Here's a guide to the most common urgent situations — and what to do first.

Critical — Act Within 30 Minutes

Knocked-Out Tooth

Time is critical. For permanent teeth, gently rinse the tooth (don't scrub) and try to reinsert it in the socket. For baby teeth, do not reinsert. Come to us immediately.

Urgent — Same Day

Severe Tooth Pain

Intense, throbbing toothaches can signal infection or abscess. Give age-appropriate ibuprofen or acetaminophen and call us right away — don't wait it out.

Facial Swelling

Swelling around the jaw, cheek, or neck can indicate a spreading dental infection. This requires immediate care — do not delay seeking treatment.

Urgent — Same Day

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Trauma can crack or break teeth. Save any fragments in milk or saliva. Rinse your child's mouth gently with warm water and call us for same-day assessment.
