Common Dental Emergencies
What Is a Dental Emergency?
Generally speaking, a dental emergency is an event requiring urgent intervention to halt bleeding, relieve intense pain, or preserve a tooth. Oftentimes, these situations typically arise from an accident or the progression of a cavity reaching the nerve, and other factors.
When Should You See The Dentist?
If you've experienced a sudden trauma in your mouth or have severe pain or an increasing level of discomfort when eating, drinking or sleeping, you may have an emergency. Here are some of the most common reasons our patients book an emergency appointment:
Toothache or Tooth Pain
Various factors can lead to a toothache. Common causes include tooth decay, gum or bacterial infections, and damaged fillings. If you experience swelling or persistent pain due to a toothache, reach out to our emergency dental office. Our dentists will examine the root cause of your tooth pain and administer the necessary treatment.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental procedure often necessary due to issues like impaction, crowding, or improper growth. When left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and potential damage to surrounding teeth. Whether it's a straightforward extraction or more complex surgical procedures for impacted wisdom teeth, our goal is to ensure a comfortable experience and promote your overall oral health.
Chipped Teeth and Fractures
When you've had a sudden accident or trauma. A chipped or fractured tooth can lead to discomfort, sensitivity, and aesthetic concerns. At our emergency dental care clinic we can assess the damage and then recommend a variety of treatment options including dental bonding or veneers as well as other restorative procedures that can repair and restore the tooth's integrity.
Knocked Out or Lost Tooth
If you've recently lost a tooth, it's imperative to seek prompt replacement to prevent further complications. The first step is to conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the most suitable replacement option for you. In certain cases, immediate intervention, such as an emergency implant or bridge, may be recommended to address the absence of the tooth and ensure optimal oral health.
Lost Fillings, Crowns or Bridges
In the event of a lost filling, crown, or bridge, swift replacement is crucial to avoid additional harm. Our proficient emergency dentists at Twogether Dental will conduct an X-ray to identify the optimal replacement solution. In certain instances, patients might necessitate an emergency root canal if the tooth's nerve is exposed.
Dental Abscess
A dental abscess is a collection of pus resulting from a bacterial infection, leading to symptoms such as swelling, toothache, and sensitivity. Our emergency dental care involves draining the abscess and preserving the tooth through an immediate root canal. In cases where saving the tooth is not feasible, our emergency dentists will conduct an urgent tooth extraction to prevent the spread of infection.

What To Do In A Dental Emergency
Step 1: Contact a dentist
Contact a dentist if you or someone in your family is experiencing severe pain, swelling or bleeding due to trauma, decay or infection. Only a qualified emergency dentist can properly diagnose the root cause of the emergency and advise you on appropriate treatment options and costs. In the meantime, here are some steps you can take to address the immediate dental issue:
Step 2: Apply Basic Care
For Tooth or Gum Pain
If you're experiencing discomfort, consider taking an over-the-counter medication such as Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or Ibuprofen (Advil) for relief. Also, consulting your local pharmacy for additional options may also be beneficial.
For Swelling Gums
If you're experiencing swelling, here are a few things you may want to consider. First, rinsing your mouth with a warm saltwater solution may help to reduce inflammation and cleanse the affected area. Second, place a cold compress or ice pack near the swollen area. Third, avoid irritants such as tobaccor, spicy food or anything else that might irritate your gums.
Bleeding
To address bleeding, use a clean and sterile piece of gauze. This will help to promote clotting and control bleeding. Replace as needed.
Lost tooth
If you've knocked out a tooth, try reinserting it into its socket, holding it by the crown. If this is not possible, store the tooth in clean milk and seek immediate dental attention. Acting promptly increases the chances of saving the tooth.
