Preventing Dental Emergencies
While dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, some can be prevented with regular checkups, protective mouthguards, and good dental safety habits. We recommend custom sports mouthguards for active children, routine dental visits to catch problems early, and teaching children how to protect their teeth during play and sports.
Most Popular Questions
What constitutes a dental emergency?
Severe pain, knocked-out teeth, broken teeth causing pain, facial swelling, bleeding that won’t stop, or any mouth injury that isn’t improving or is getting worse should be treated as a dental emergency.
How quickly should we seek treatment?
Dental emergencies require urgent attention. Contact us immediately for severe pain, trauma, or swelling. Same-day emergency care is available.
Should I go to the ER?
For most dental problems, call us first. However, serious facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or other medical emergencies may require immediate hospital or emergency-room care.
Do you see emergency patients after hours?
Yes, depending on the severity and urgency of the situation. Call our office number for emergency instructions and Dr. Davis's availability.
What if my child's tooth is knocked out?
For permanent teeth, handle by the crown, rinse gently if dirty, and try to reimplant immediately. If not possible, store in milk and call us right away.
