When Should You Seek Emergency Dental Care?

Not every dental issue requires immediate attention, but some conditions need fast treatment to prevent further damage or discomfort. Here are the most common situations when emergency dental care is necessary:

  • Severe Tooth Pain: If you’re experiencing sharp or throbbing pain that isn’t relieved by over-the-counter medications, you may have a deep cavity, infection, or abscess that requires immediate attention.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth: Timing is critical if you’ve knocked out a tooth. The sooner you receive treatment, the better the chances of saving it.
  • Chipped or Broken Tooth: While minor chips may not be urgent, large fractures or breaks that expose the tooth’s inner layers must be addressed to prevent infection or further damage.
  • Lost Filling or Crown: If a filling or crown falls out, it can expose your tooth to bacteria, leading to pain or further decay.
  • Swelling or Infection: Gum or facial swelling is often a sign of an infection, which can quickly become serious if left untreated.
  • Dental Abscess: An abscess is a painful infection that forms at the tooth's root. It can cause significant pain and swelling and requires immediate treatment to prevent it from spreading.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, don’t wait—call us immediately at (303) 586-6846 for emergency care. If it’s after open hours and our team cannot pick up your call, please leave a detailed voicemail, and one of our caring team members will call you back as soon as possible with options for you.

What should I do first if my tooth gets knocked out?

If your tooth gets knocked out, try to handle it only by the crown (the part you normally see), not the root. If it's dirty, rinse it gently with water and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, store it in milk and call us immediately at (303) 586-6846.

Can I wait until the next day if I have a toothache?

If the pain is mild, you may be able to wait, but severe or persistent pain could indicate an infection or abscess that needs immediate treatment. It’s always better to call us and get professional advice.

What should I do if my filling or crown falls out?

If your filling or crown falls out, keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. Call us immediately to replace the restoration before further damage occurs.

How can I tell if I have a dental abscess?

Signs of a dental abscess include severe, throbbing pain, swelling in the gums or face, and sometimes a bad taste in your mouth. Abscesses require prompt treatment to prevent the infection from spreading.

Do you accept walk-ins for emergency dental care?

We do our best to accommodate walk-ins for emergency dental care. However, we recommend calling ahead at (303) 586-6846 so we can prioritize your care and minimize your wait time.

What if my dental emergency happens after hours?

If you experience a dental emergency after hours, call our office first and leave a detailed voicemail. We have an after-hours contact option, and if they’re available during the time of your call, they will advise you on what to do next and schedule you for the earliest available appointment.
