Our team prioritizes your health and well-being, striving to provide the immediate attention and relief you need.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is an injury to teeth, gums, tongues or other areas of the mouth that requires immediate treatment to stop bleeding, reduce swelling, address infection and alleviate severe pain. If you cannot stop bleeding or ease pain with medication, you may be having a dental emergency.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Our skilled team can treat a variety of dental emergencies, including:

• Severe toothaches
• Broken, chipped or cracked teeth
• Knocked-out teeth
• Partially dislodged teeth
• Lost dental fillings or crowns
• Facial swelling, known as abscesses
• Dental infections
• Soft tissue injuries, such as lip, gum and tongue damage
• Jaw pain and clenching

If you have broken facial bones, jaw fractures or dislocations, serious cuts or lacerations, or swelling that makes it difficult to breathe or swallow, you should go to the emergency room to receive care.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

If you're experiencing a dental emergency, it's essential to act quickly. Follow these steps:

1. Contact us: Call Smile Crafters immediately to schedule an emergency dental exam. Our team will provide guidance on what to do next and prepare for your arrival.
2. Manage pain: If you are experiencing severe pain, take over-the-counter pain medication as directed to alleviate discomfort until your appointment.
3. Handle teeth carefully: If you've knocked out a tooth, handle it by the top part, known as the crown, and do your best to not touch the root. Avoid scrubbing the tooth or removing any tissue fragments that are still attached. Instead, gently rinse the tooth with water if it's dirty.
4. Protect the tooth: If you can, attempt to place the knocked-out tooth in its socket. Do not force it. If you can't replace it, put the tooth in a container of saliva or milk to keep it moist until your appointment.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

While some dental emergencies are the result of an accident, others can be prevented with proper oral hygiene and care. A few ways you can minimize your risk of a dental emergency include:

• Visiting the dentist regularly: When you schedule regular dentist appointments, you can improve your oral health. A dentist can also detect and resolve any minor problems, such as cracks, cavities or infections, before they result in a painful dental emergency.
• Maintaining a healthy diet: A balanced diet can help you naturally strengthen your teeth and gums. It can also reduce your chances of a dental emergency by protecting your teeth from too much exposure to sweet, acidic, hard or sticky foods and drinks.
• Taking care of your teeth: Good oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing consistently, goes a long way in improving your health and avoiding emergencies. Wearing mouthguards when you sleep or play a high-contact sport can also help you protect your teeth from painful problems.
