When Should You Seek Emergency Dental Care?

Dental emergencies come in many forms, but if you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s important to contact us immediately:

  • Severe Tooth Pain: Intense tooth pain that doesn’t go away can be a sign of infection or damage. Whether it’s a deep cavity or an abscess, immediate care is essential.
  • Broken, Cracked, or Chipped Teeth: Accidents or injuries can result in damaged teeth. Dr. Strommer, known for his expertise in restorative care, will assess the damage and provide the appropriate treatment to save your tooth and restore your smile.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth: A knocked-out tooth requires immediate action. If you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, Dr. Frey will do everything possible to save it, but time is critical. Contact us right away.
  • Abscessed Tooth: An abscess can cause severe pain, swelling, and infection. Left untreated, it can lead to more serious complications. Dr. Strommer will treat the infection and prevent it from spreading.
  • Loose or Lost Fillings/Crowns: If a filling or crown falls out, it can expose your tooth to infection and further damage. We’ll help restore the tooth quickly to prevent discomfort and complications.
  • Swollen or Bleeding Gums: If you’re experiencing unusual swelling, bleeding, or tenderness in your gums, it could indicate gum disease or an infection that needs prompt attention.

If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, it’s always better to be safe and give us a call. Our team will provide guidance on what to do next and schedule a same-day appointment if needed.

How do I know if my issue is a dental emergency?

If you’re experiencing severe pain, swelling, a knocked-out tooth, or bleeding that won’t stop, it’s a dental emergency. Call us immediately, and we’ll guide you on the next steps.

Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?

Yes! If you act quickly, a knocked-out tooth can often be re-implanted. Keep the tooth moist (in milk or saliva) and get to our office as soon as possible—within 30 minutes is ideal for the best chance of saving the tooth.

What can I do for severe tooth pain until my appointment?

Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, and use over-the-counter pain relievers. Avoid chewing on the affected side and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.

Do you take walk-ins for emergencies?

Yes, we prioritize dental emergencies and strive to accommodate walk-ins. However, calling ahead will allow us to prepare for your arrival and ensure you’re seen as quickly as possible.

What if I lose a crown or filling?

If you lose a crown or filling, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and call us immediately. We can provide a temporary solution and arrange a follow-up visit to restore the tooth.

Will my dental insurance cover emergency care?

Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for emergency treatment. Our team will work with you to maximize your benefits and provide affordable payment options if needed.
