What Is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is an oral health problem that causes significant pain, bleeding, or swelling or puts a tooth at risk. Acting quickly can sometimes help protect a damaged tooth and prevent a dental problem from becoming more serious.

Common dental emergencies include:

  • Knocked-out or partially dislodged teeth
  • Broken, cracked, or severely chipped teeth
  • Lost crowns, fillings, or bridges
  • Severe or persistent toothaches
  • Swelling in the gums, jaw, or face
  • Dental abscesses or oral infections
  • Uncontrolled bleeding following an injury or dental procedure

Our team can evaluate your condition and recommend the appropriate treatment based on your symptoms and oral health needs.

What to Do Before Your Appointment

While waiting to receive emergency dental care, a few simple steps may help protect your mouth:

  1. Call (440) 960-5200 as soon as possible.
  2. If a tooth is knocked out, gently rinse it without scrubbing and keep it moist in milk or between your cheek and gum.
  3. For swelling, apply a cold compress to the outside of your face for short intervals.
  4. If a crown or filling is lost, avoid chewing on the affected side.
  5. Follow the recommended dosage when taking over-the-counter pain medication.

If a tooth or dental restoration has broken, bring the pieces with you when possible. This can help our team determine the most appropriate treatment.

Depending on your dental emergency, treatment may include tooth extraction, root canal therapy, dental crown repair or placement, treatment for an abscess, or repair of a cracked or chipped tooth.
