Dental Emergencies Questions & Answers
What's the most common dental emergency?
The most common dental emergency is a toothache, often signaling an underlying issue like decay or infection that requires prompt attention.
What is an emergency dentist?
An emergency dentist specializes in providing immediate care for dental emergencies, offering treatments outside regular office hours to address urgent dental needs.
What can I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
If your tooth gets knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently if dirty, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva and seek immediate dental care.
How do I handle a chipped or broken tooth?
Collect any broken pieces. Wash your mouth and the pieces gently with warm water. Use gauze for bleeding and a cold pack for swelling. Visit your dentist quickly.
What can I do for a lost filling or crown?
Keep the crown or filling if you find it. For a lost filling, use sugar-free gum or dental cement as a temporary fix. If a crown falls out, dental cement can reattach it temporarily. See your dentist quickly.
What if I have a dental emergency and the office is closed?
Many dentists have an emergency contact number for after-hours. If not, visit the emergency room for immediate care, especially if the situation is severe.
