Do I Need Emergency Dentistry?

We understand that every emergency is different, and in some cases, you might not experience pain. That's why we encourage you to call our office if you have questions about whether your situation should be considered an emergency. Our team takes every situation seriously and will provide helpful tips and valuable insight to make informed decisions. Here are some indicators that you need emergency dentistry in Rose Garden:

  • Pain in the tooth or jaw
  • Gray or dark tooth
  • Gums that bleed nonstop
  • Chipped or broken tooth
  • Abscess on the gums
  • Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
  • Puss along the gums
  • Broken or missing dental restoration

Tips for a Dental Emergency

When you're facing an emergency, you know what number to dial, but when dealing with a dental emergency, you may wonder what to do. That's why we offer the emergency dentistry tips you need to restore your oral health and protect your smile. We encourage you to call our office, and our friendly team will walk you through the steps to alleviate any discomfort until you arrive at our practice for your emergency appointment. Here are helpful tips for some emergency dental situations:

  • Broken or Knocked-Out Tooth: If your tooth is broken or knocked out, gather the pieces or the whole tooth, avoiding contact with the roots. Rinse it in room-temperature water to clean away dirt, debris, and bacteria, place it in a glass of milk or salt water, and bring it with you to your appointment. Swish your mouth out with lukewarm water to clear debris.
  • Bleeding Gums: If your gums are bleeding nonstop, you can place some clean gauze near the area and gently bite on the gauze to keep it in place. If your gums are tender, wrap an ice pack in a soft, clean towel and place it on your cheek near the affected area.
  • Pain in the Jaw or Teeth: If you're experiencing pain in your jaw or teeth, it impacts your whole day. Until your appointment, you can alleviate the pain with an ice pack wrapped in a clean, soft towel applied near the area of pain. You can also take over-the-counter pain medication.
  • Broken or Lost Dental Restoration: Your dental restoration protects a compromised tooth from damage or decay, and it's vital to replace it quickly if it becomes lost or damaged. If your dental crown or bridge is broken, you can place dental wax on the edge to protect the inside of your cheeks and lips from sharp edges. If your restoration is lost, our team will work with you to create a custom crown, bridge, or denture to protect your smile.

Our Dental Emergency Process

We are dedicated to being there for you, especially when you need us most.

Urgent Dental Care FAQs

When you or a loved one needs urgent dental care, it's natural to have questions. That's why we encourage you to voice your concerns and questions.
