About Emergency Dental Care

A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, swelling, or bleeding that does not stop. If you experience any of these, contact the office as soon as possible. Many emergencies can be treated the same day with prompt action.

What to do right now: 1. Call the office first so we can tell you whether you should come in, go to urgent care, or head to the ER. 2. Protect the area: use a cold compress for swelling, avoid chewing on that side, and keep any broken or knocked-out tooth moist. 3. Come in as directed with your ID, insurance card if you have one, and a short description of when the pain or injury started.

Go to the ER now if you have: trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling spreading into the jaw, face, or neck, uncontrolled bleeding, major facial trauma, or fever with severe swelling or signs of a spreading infection.

Call KinDentists first if you have: severe toothache, broken or cracked tooth, knocked-out tooth, lost crown or filling, gum swelling, dental abscess, or pain when biting.
