Emergency Dentistry FAQ
What counts as a dental emergency?
Urgent concerns may include persistent or severe pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, a lost restoration, swelling, or an injury. The urgency depends on the situation. For life-threatening symptoms, severe swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or serious injury, call 911 or seek emergency medical care immediately.
Should I go to the ER or dentist?
For an urgent dental concern, contact the dental office for guidance during business hours. Call 911 or seek emergency medical care for a life-threatening emergency, severe swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or serious injury.
Can antibiotics fix a tooth infection?
Antibiotics are not always the appropriate first-line solution for dental pain or localized swelling. Depending on the situation, a dentist may prioritize dental treatment; a clinician can determine whether antibiotics are appropriate.
What if my tooth is broken?
A broken or chipped tooth may need prompt dental evaluation. Contact the office for guidance; serious injury or other emergency symptoms warrant emergency medical care.
What if I have swelling?
Dental swelling should be evaluated promptly. If swelling is severe or affects breathing or swallowing, call 911 or seek emergency medical care immediately.
Can I be seen the same day?
Availability depends on the situation and the practice’s schedule, so a same-day visit cannot be guaranteed. Contact the office to ask about next steps and scheduling guidance.
