Common Emergency Dental Issues Treated at Espire Dental | Northfield

Dental emergencies come in many forms. Regardless, you’ll want to seek immediate care to prevent complications. Here are a few of the most common situations where Espire Dental can help:

  • Severe Toothache – When pain strikes, it can make even simple tasks unbearable. Our emergency team will work quickly to diagnose and relieve your discomfort.
  • Cracked or Broken Teeth — Whether caused by an accident or injury, cracked teeth can cause pain and sensitivity, requiring immediate treatment to prevent further damage.
  • Lost or Broken Fillings – If a filling falls out or becomes damaged, bacteria can enter the tooth, causing infection. We offer quick repairs to stop the issue in its tracks.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth – Time is crucial if you've lost a tooth. If you can keep it safe and visit us within an hour, we may be able to reinsert it.
  • Infection or Abscess – Dental infections can be dangerous if not treated quickly. Our team will address any infection promptly and provide treatment to relieve your pain.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

First, find the tooth and handle it by the crown (avoid touching the root). Rinse it gently, and if possible, place it back in its socket or keep it in a container of milk. Come to our office immediately for the best chance of saving your tooth.

How can I manage pain while waiting for my appointment?

Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can help reduce inflammation and discomfort. You can also apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to minimize swelling.

What counts as a dental emergency?

Any sudden, severe pain, injury, or infection qualifies as an emergency. If you're unsure, call our office, and we’ll help assess your situation. Call 911 in case of life-threatening emergencies.

Can a dentist repair a broken tooth?

Yes, depending on the severity. Only dentists can repair broken teeth with fillings, crowns, or other cosmetic treatments. An extraction might be needed in severe cases, but we’ll work to preserve your natural tooth if possible.

How quickly should I seek help for a dental emergency?

Getting seen as soon as possible is essential, especially for issues like knocked-out teeth or severe pain. Delaying treatment can lead to complications or permanent damage.

Does insurance cover emergency dental care?

Most dental insurance plans offer some coverage for emergencies. We recommend checking with your provider, and we’ll be happy to assist with any insurance-related questions during your visit.
