What To Do in a Dental Emergency?
Dental emergencies don’t fix themselves—and waiting can cost you the tooth.
Follow these steps immediately, then call our office and head in right away.
Knocked-Out Tooth
What to do immediately:
- Pick it up by the crown (top), NOT the root
- Gently rinse with water—do NOT scrub
- Place the tooth back in the socket, if possible.
- If that is not possible, keep the tooth soaked in milk or saliva.
What to do next:
Call immediately and get to our dental office within 30–60 minutes.
This is your best—and possibly only—chance to save the tooth.
Severe Toothache
What to do right now:
- Rinse with warm salt water
- Gently floss to remove anything stuck
- Take over-the-counter pain relief
- Apply a cold compress if swelling is present
What to do next:
Call now and come in today. Tooth pain almost always gets worse without treatment.
Abscess (Tooth, Gum or Root Infection)
What to do immediately:
- Rinse with warm salt water several times
- Take pain relief if needed
- Apply a cold compress
What to do next: Call us immediately and come in as soon as possible (same-day).
This is a serious infection that can spread.
Chipped Tooth
What to do right now:
- Rinse your mouth with warm water
- Save any pieces if possible
- Apply gauze if bleeding
- Use a cold compress
What to do next: Call now and get seen today at our very next available appointment.
Small chips can quickly turn into bigger problems.
Cracked Tooth
What to do immediately:
- Rinse with warm water
- Avoid chewing on that side
- Apply a cold compress
What to do next: Call now and come in today.
There is no advantage in waiting if you have a cracked tooth. Tooth cracks can worsen quickly and can lead to permanent tooth loss.
Broken Tooth
What to do right now:
- Rinse your mouth with warm water
- Save any tooth fragments you can
- Apply gauze to stop bleeding
- Use a cold compress to reduce swelling
What to do next: Call us immediately and come in today.
An exposed broken tooth is at high risk for infection.
Loose Tooth (Adult Tooth)
What to do immediately:
- Do NOT touch or wiggle it
- Gently reposition if needed
- Bite down lightly on gauze
What to do next: Call now and see us immediately.
Delays can result in the loss of your tooth.
Broken Dental Crown
What to do right now:
- Find and save the crown
- Try placing it back with dental cement or toothpaste
- Avoid chewing on that side
What to do next: Call now and schedule a same-day or next-day visit.
The exposed tooth can quickly become damaged.
Don’t Wait To Get Help—Call Now!
If you are experiencing any of these dental emergencies or need urgent care, don’t wait! Get seen by a dentist as soon as possible. Time is of the essence. Without proper care, your pain will likely increase, the risk of infection will also increase, and your teeth will become harder to save.
The faster you act, the better the outcome will be. We are here for you!
