What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies can vary from severe pain to visible damage to a tooth. In general, if you're experiencing pain that won't go away, bleeding or damage to a tooth, it’s crucial to seek immediate care. Ignoring these problems can lead to further damage, infection, or even tooth loss.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat:

  • Severe toothaches that don’t subside with over-the-counter pain relief
  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth due to injury or accident
  • Knocked-out teeth (avulsed teeth)
  • Loose or partially dislodged teeth
  • Dental abscesses or infections that cause swelling, pain, or fever
  • Lost fillings or crowns that need immediate replacement
  • Injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth, such as the tongue, gums, or cheeks

If you’re unsure whether your issue qualifies as an emergency, it’s always better to err on the side of caution. Contact our office, and we’ll help assess the situation and determine the best course of action.

How quickly should I seek help for a knocked-out tooth?

Time is critical when it comes to saving a knocked-out tooth. Ideally, you should see a dentist within 30 minutes to increase the chances of successfully re-implanting the tooth.

What should I do if my tooth cracks?

If your tooth cracks, rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any pieces of the tooth and bring them to your appointment. Contact our office immediately, and we’ll schedule a visit as soon as possible.

Can I go to the emergency room for a dental emergency?

While ERs can treat some dental injuries, they don’t have the expertise or equipment to handle many dental-specific issues. It’s best to contact a dentist first to address the problem directly. If you have a dental emergency outside of our office hours, you can visit an ER, and we can follow up with dental care if necessary.

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

If a crown or filling falls out, keep the filling safe and schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible. In the meantime, avoid chewing on the side of the affected tooth and use over-the-counter dental cement to protect it if necessary.

Is emergency dental care expensive?

The cost of emergency dental care can vary depending on the issue and the treatment required. At Espire Dental Greeley, we work with many insurance providers to ensure you receive the care you need at an affordable cost. Our team can help you understand your benefits and payment options.

What if I have a dental emergency after hours?

If you experience a dental emergency after normal business hours, please contact our office and leave a message. We will return your call as soon as possible and, if necessary, direct you to emergency dental services.
