Frequently Asked Questions

What Do I Do for a Dental Emergency?

Depending on the kind of emergency, there are several things that you can do for a dental issue until you can visit the dentist’s office. For a tooth that is cracked or chipped, rinse out your mouth with warm water, then save the pieces of the tooth to take to the dentist. For a serious toothache or abscess, rinse with warm salt water and gently floss. See a dentist as soon as possible.

Can the Emergency Room Extract a Tooth?

Typically, the emergency room is not equipped to handle a tooth extraction. Emergency rooms can provide temporary pain relief, treat facial swelling, or drain an abscess. Visiting the emergency room is generally not advised for treating dental issues in most cases.

What Do I Do for a Knocked-Out Tooth?

If your tooth has been knocked out of its socket, pick up the tooth by its crown and avoid touching the roots. Rinse the tooth in water, but do not scrub it. Try placing the tooth back in its socket if you are able. If not, then place the tooth in milk until you can see a dentist.

How Fast Do I Need to Act for A Knocked-Out Tooth?

When it comes to a tooth that has been knocked out, fast action is crucial. Saving a permanent tooth that has been knocked out has the best chance of being saved when you are able to see a dentist 30-60 minutes after it has been dislodged.

What If My Dental Emergency Happens After Standard Business Hours?

If you are experiencing a dental emergency after most dentist offices are closed, you may contact Emergency Dental Service’s 24-hour phone support system. We can connect you with the emergency services you need at any time of the day or night.
