What is a dental emergency?
Believe it or not, it’s hard to know if your dental problem requires emergency attention just by taking a peek inside your mouth.
Initially, a broken tooth may not even hurt or bother you much, but don’t be fooled! Broken or severely damaged teeth can cause swelling, infection, or discomfort, even if you don’t feel pain right away.
Some common dental emergencies include:
- A broken tooth
- A missing tooth
- Severe tooth pain
- Extreme gum or mouth pain
- Sudden gum bleeding
- A loose or missing crown or filling
Something as small as eating the wrong food or clenching your teeth too hard can cause your teeth to crack and break, so it’s important to call for help right away.

What can I do to help in a dental emergency?
Before scheduling an emergency appointment, take a few steps to keep your oral health in check.
Should your tooth crack, do not continue chewing or biting until you can have your damaged tooth properly assessed.
If your tooth gets knocked out unexpectedly, the first step is to find your missing tooth!
Next, stop by your local pharmacy as soon as you can and pick up a bottle of Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution, which helps clean the affected area.
Last but not least, schedule an emergency appointment with your dentist right away, so they can get to work on assessing and repairing your tooth damage.
Again, sudden tooth pain, swelling, or bleeding can be a sign that something just isn’t right inside your mouth.
