What Is Considered a Dental Emergency at Espire Dental Cheyenne?

Dental emergencies can vary in severity, but if you’re experiencing significant pain, bleeding, or damage to your teeth, gums, or jaw, it’s important to seek professional help as soon as possible. Common dental emergencies include:

  • Severe Toothache: Persistent or intense pain may indicate an infection, abscess, or other serious issues.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth: Immediate treatment is crucial to increase the chances of saving the tooth.
  • Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Tooth: Significant damage can expose the tooth’s inner layers, leading to pain or infection.
  • Lost or Loose Filling, Crown, or Bridge: Missing restorations can cause discomfort and affect the function of your teeth.
  • Abscess or Swelling: Infections in the gums or teeth may result in swelling, pain, or fever and require urgent treatment.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts, tears, or other damage to the lips, gums, or tongue can cause significant bleeding and discomfort.

What to Do in Dental Emergency Situations?

If you experience a dental emergency, follow these steps to help manage the situation until you can see a dentist:

  1. Stay Calm: Take deep breaths to help reduce anxiety and assess the situation.
  2. Control Bleeding: Use a clean cloth or gauze to apply gentle pressure if bleeding occurs.
  3. Manage Pain: Use over-the-counter pain medication and a cold compress to alleviate discomfort and reduce swelling.
  4. Contact Espire Dental: Call us immediately at (307) 634-6020 for guidance and to schedule an emergency appointment.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Retrieve the tooth, holding it by the crown (not the root), and rinse it gently. Try to place it back in the socket or keep it in a container of milk. Contact us immediately for emergency care.

Can a toothache wait until my next dental visit?

Severe toothaches should be treated as soon as possible, as they may indicate an infection or other serious problem that could worsen without prompt care.

Are same-day emergency appointments available?

Yes, we prioritize emergency cases and strive to offer same-day appointments whenever possible. Call us immediately for urgent assistance.

How do I handle a lost filling or crown?

If a filling or crown comes loose, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and keep the area clean. Bring the restoration with you to your appointment for possible reattachment.

Is emergency dental care covered by insurance?

Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan. We’ll work with you to understand your benefits and provide an estimate before treatment.

Can I use an emergency room for dental problems?

While emergency rooms can help with pain management and bleeding, they are not equipped for most dental treatments. It's best to seek emergency care from a dentist for dental-specific issues.
