Dental emergencies encompass various situations, such as severe toothaches accompanied by swelling,, redness, or fever, which could indicate an infection. Additionally, chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth require prompt evaluation. Some dental emergencies, like abscessed teeth, may not be painful but can lead to severe consequences if left untreated. When in doubt, it’s advisable to consult with your dentist for a professional assessment.

Dental emergencies often include scenarios like chipped or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, toothaches, exposed nerves, abscessed teeth, issues with dental implants, lost dental crowns or fillings, and food lodged between teeth. Quick is crucial in these situations. For example, if a tooth is knocked out, gently rinse it and attempt to replant it in its socket or store it in milk or water before contacting an emergency dentist. Specific guidelines for responding to various dental emergencies are provided on our Dental Emergency page.

Delaying treatment for a dental emergency can have severe consequences, including the risk of infection that can spread to other parts of the body. Untreated dental emergencies may also lead to tooth loss, persistent jaw pain, headaches, sinus problems, difficulty swallowing, and other oral health issues. It’s essential to seek immediate dental care to prevent further complications and address the emergency effectively. 

While accidents can happen, some dental emergencies can be prevented by practicing good oral hygiene, avoiding activities that put your teeth at risk (like using teeth for tasks other than chewing), and wearing protective gear in sports or other high-risk situations. Regular dental check-ups can help detect and address potential issues before they become emergencies.
