Call NowWhat is considered a dental emergency?
Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothache or sudden pain
- Knocked-out tooth
- Chipped, cracked, or broken tooth

- Dental abscess or swelling
- Injury to the gums, lips, or tongue

Should I see an emergency dentist or go to the ER?
In most cases, a dental emergency—like a broken tooth, severe toothache, or lost filling—should be treated by an emergency dentist, as they have the tools and training to address oral health problems directly. However, if you have uncontrolled bleeding, severe facial swelling that affects breathing, or a jaw injury, you should go to the ER immediately. When in doubt, you can always call our office for guidance.
How can I be prepared for a dental emergency?
We recommend keeping items like gauze, an ice pack, salt, over-the-counter pain relievers, and dental wax on hand in case a dental emergency should ever arise in your household. You may also want to add our office phone number to your contacts so you can reach us quickly in an emergency. Preventing dental emergencies is always ideal, so if you or a loved one participate in a sport like football or soccer, ask our team about our custom athletic mouthguards.
