Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care

Q: What qualifies as a dental emergency?A: Any situation involving severe pain, bleeding, or risk of losing a tooth is considered a dental emergency. This includes knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, and dental abscesses.

Q: Should I go to the emergency room for a dental emergency?A: In most cases, it's better to contact us directly. However, if you have severe bleeding, jaw injuries, or signs of infection spreading to other parts of your body, you should go to the ER.

Q: What should I do if I knock out a tooth?A: Keep the tooth moist at all times. Try placing it back in the socket without touching the root. If that's not possible, place it in milk or between your cheek and gums, and call us immediately.

Q: How quickly do I need to be seen for a dental emergency?A: For most dental emergencies, it's crucial to be seen within 24 hours. For knocked-out teeth, the sooner you're seen (ideally within 30 minutes), the better the chances of saving the tooth.

Q: Will my insurance cover emergency dental care?A: Many dental insurance plans provide coverage for emergency care. We'll work with you to understand your coverage and provide the most cost-effective treatment possible.
