What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Knowing how to respond in a dental emergency can make a big difference in preserving your teeth and managing pain. Here’s a guide to handling common dental emergencies before you reach our office:

  • Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and floss gently to remove any trapped food. Avoid putting aspirin on the tooth or gums, as this can cause burns. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and call our office as soon as possible.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth: If a tooth is knocked out, gently rinse it with water—do not scrub the root. Try to place the tooth back in the socket if possible, or keep it in a container of milk or saline solution. Time is critical, so contact us immediately.
  • Cracked or Broken Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling. Save any broken pieces of the tooth and bring them to your appointment.
  • Lost Filling or Crown: If a crown comes loose, try to place it back over the tooth using dental cement from a drugstore or toothpaste as a temporary solution. For lost fillings, cover the cavity with dental cement or sugarless gum until you can visit our office.
  • Abscess: If you have a painful swelling in your gums, it could be an abscess. Rinse your mouth with saltwater several times a day to ease the pain and call us immediately to prevent the infection from spreading.

At Espire Dental Longmont, we’re here to provide the immediate care you need to address your dental emergency and prevent further damage or discomfort.

How do I know if I have a dental emergency?

Can I wait until my next appointment if I’m in pain?

No. If you’re in pain, it’s important to seek immediate treatment. Delaying care can lead to more serious complications, such as infection or tooth loss.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Time is critical. Try to place the tooth back in the socket or keep it in a container of milk or saliva. Call us immediately for an emergency appointment.

How can I prevent a dental emergency?

Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular checkups, wearing a mouthguard during sports, and avoiding hard foods are great ways to prevent dental emergencies.
