Get Emergency Care for Your ChildWhat Is Considered a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is a problem that requires prompt attention because it is causing significant pain, bleeding, swelling, infection, trauma, or damage to a tooth or dental restoration.
If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, contact Plaza Dental Suite. Our team can help determine how quickly you should be seen.
Severe Toothache
Sudden, severe, or persistent tooth pain may be caused by decay, infection, inflammation, or dental trauma and should be assessed promptly.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A cracked, fractured, or broken tooth can expose sensitive areas and may become more damaged without treatment.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out permanent tooth requires urgent attention. Contact a dentist immediately after the injury.
Dental Abscess
An abscess can cause pain, swelling, tenderness, and other signs of infection and requires prompt dental assessment.
Swelling or Bleeding
Significant swelling or oral bleeding that does not stop should be assessed promptly.
Dental Trauma
Falls, sports injuries, accidents, and other trauma can damage teeth, gums, lips, and surrounding tissues.
- Broken or damaged dentures
- Loose dental implants
- Dislodged crowns, bridges, or veneers
- Lost or damaged fillings
- Orthodontic emergencies causing significant pain or injury
- Broken orthodontic retainers
- Foreign objects lodged between teeth or in oral tissues
- Sudden unexplained tooth discoloration following an injury
What Should I Do During a Dental Emergency?
Taking the right steps while you arrange dental care can help protect your teeth and reduce the risk of further damage.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown rather than the root. If it is dirty, gently rinse it without scrubbing. Keep the tooth moist and contact a dentist immediately.
If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, getting professional care quickly may improve the chances of saving it.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
Rinse your mouth gently with water and save any broken pieces you can find. A cold compress can help with swelling.
Avoid chewing on the injured side until the tooth has been assessed.
Severe Toothache or Swelling
Rinse gently with warm water and avoid placing aspirin directly against the tooth or gums.
Significant pain, facial swelling, or signs of infection should be assessed promptly by a dental professional.

When you are in pain, knowing what to expect can make an emergency visit less stressful. Our emergency appointments focus on identifying the problem and determining the most appropriate treatment.
Assessment
We'll examine the affected tooth, gums, jaw, or surrounding tissues and ask about your symptoms and how the problem occurred.
Diagnosis
Depending on your symptoms, dental X-rays or other diagnostic imaging may be recommended to identify damage, infection, or other problems.
Treatment
We'll explain the recommended treatment options and focus on addressing the immediate problem and protecting your oral health.
Emergency Dental Treatments
The treatment you need depends on the cause and severity of your dental emergency. Depending on your situation, emergency dental treatment may include:
Emergency Fillings
Treatment for damaged or decayed teeth that are causing pain or sensitivity.
Root Canal Treatment
Treatment may be recommended when infection or damage has affected the inside of a tooth.
Tooth Extraction
In some situations, removing a severely damaged or infected tooth may be recommended.
Crown Repair
Damaged or dislodged crowns can often be assessed and repaired or replaced as appropriate.
Dental Abscess Treatment
Dental infections and abscesses require prompt assessment and treatment to address the underlying problem.
Dental Trauma Treatment
Injured teeth and surrounding tissues can be evaluated following falls, sports injuries, or accidents.
When Should I Go to the Emergency Room?
Most dental problems can be assessed and treated by a dentist. However, some situations require immediate medical attention. If a dental injury involves serious head trauma, loss of consciousness, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or severe swelling that may affect your airway, seek emergency medical care immediately.
