WHen to seek emergency dental care

Significant Damage to Your Teeth

If your tooth is entirely or mostly out of the socket, or large pieces of it are broken off, emergency services are necessary to save the tooth.

Severe Mouth Pain

Try a first aid combination that includes anti-inflammatories, an ice pack and rinsing your mouth with saltwater. If your pain levels remain too high to bear, our emergency dentist can perform diagnostic testing and treatment.

Pus Drainage or Visible Abscess

Teeth can become infected, and pus or an abscess indicate that something is wrong. You may need antibiotics to combat this infection, and the dentist can schedule you for the necessary follow-ups to ensure the problem is taken care of.

Mouth or Gum Bleeding That Doesn't Stop

A slight mouth bleed from biting your lips or tongue can be irritating and uncomfortable, but it's not anything to worry about if it stops within a few minutes. If the bleeding persists, a dental office that provides emergency services can address this before larger problems ensue. However, if the blood is coming out of your mouth rapidly, head straight to the emergency room.

Visible Swelling That Doesn't Improve

Are your gums or face swollen? Is your jaw hard to move or impossible to shut correctly? This painful symptom may indicate an infection in a tooth or within your gums. You need to head right to your dentist to get antibiotics and begin a treatment course so the infection does not spread.
