Dental Emergency

A dental emergency is any oral health situation requiring immediate treatment to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, save a tooth, or treat a life-threatening infection. Common dental emergencies include knocked-out teeth (avulsed), cracked or fractured teeth, severe toothache indicating infection, dental abscess with facial swelling, broken dental restorations, post-extraction bleeding that won't stop, jaw fractures, and lacerations to the tongue or lips. Time is critical — a knocked-out permanent tooth has the highest chance of being saved if reimplanted within 30 minutes.

Your dental provider can answer this during your appointment. Front Desk triages emergency calls, provides immediate first-aid guidance (e.g., keep knocked-out tooth moist in milk), schedules same-day emergency appointments, and directs after-hours callers to emergency resources — so you never miss a critical call.
