Types of Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies can strike at any time, causing discomfort and distress that often require immediate attention. Understanding the various types of dental emergencies is crucial for prompt and effective care.
Toothache Troubles:
Symptoms: Intense, persistent tooth pain, swelling, and sensitivity to hot or cold.
Causes: Cavities, infections, or dental abscesses.
Recommended Action: Rinse the mouth with warm water, floss gently to remove debris, and see a dentist promptly.
Cracked or Broken Teeth:
Symptoms: Sharp pain while chewing, sensitivity to temperature changes, visible cracks or breaks.
Causes: Trauma, biting on hard objects, or weakened teeth.
Recommended Action: Rinse the mouth, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and seek immediate dental care.
Knocked-Out Tooth:
Symptoms: Completely dislodged tooth, bleeding, and pain.
Causes: Accidents, falls, or sports injuries.
Recommended Action: Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If not possible, keep it in milk and see a dentist immediately.
Lost Dental Filling or Crown:
Symptoms: Exposed tooth, pain while chewing, and sensitivity.
Causes: Wear and tear, decay, or trauma.
Recommended Action: Save the filling or crown, clean the affected area, and use dental cement or temporary dental adhesive until you can see a dentist.
Abscessed Gums:
Symptoms: Swollen, red gums, pus drainage, severe pain, and bad taste in the mouth.
Causes: Untreated tooth infection or gum disease.
Recommended Action: Rinse with a mild saltwater solution, take over-the-counter pain relievers, and see a dentist promptly.

Patient Testimonials
My Uncle referred me to this dentist as he’s a patient himself. I was scared going in as I haven’t visited a dentist in a very long time. Everyone was so professional and caring. They put my mind at ease. The dentist explained everything that I would need done, and it’s a lot, in a way I could understand it. I’m so glad I listened to my Uncle and chose this dental office. I will highly recommend this place if anyone asks me.
