Brushed, rinsed, and flossed — and it still hurts.

Knocked-out tooth

Time matters most here. Call us on the way in.

Gum, tongue, or cheek injury

If bleeding won't stop, call us right away.

Chipped or broken tooth

A significant chip, crack, or a tooth in pieces.

Lost filling or crown

We can get a replacement or temporary in place.

Loose tooth

Whether from an injury or without an obvious cause.

Abscess

A painful infection that needs prompt attention.

Not sure?

Call us — we'll help you figure out what you need.

Knocked-out tooth? Every minute counts

What to Do in the First 30 Minutes

A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved when it's handled quickly and correctly. Here's exactly what to do while you're on your way to us.

Step 1

Find the tooth

Pick it up by the crown (the chewing surface), never the root.

Step 2

Rinse gently

Cool water only — no scrubbing, no soap.

Step 3

Reinsert if you can

Place it back in the socket and hold with clean gauze.

Step 4

Keep it moist

Can't reinsert it? Store it in cold milk and call us now.

Baby tooth knocked out? Don't try to replant it — call us instead, since replanting a baby tooth can damage the permanent tooth underneath.

Why it happens

The Most Common Causes of Dental Emergencies

Sports injuries

The ADA cites sports as the leading cause of adult tooth damage — even a backyard game can knock a tooth loose or out.

Car accidents

Tooth enamel is strong, but not always strong enough for a collision with a steering wheel or airbag. Get checked at the ER first, then call us.

Untreated infection

A small cavity or gum disease left too long can turn into a painful abscess that requires urgent treatment.

Common questions

Emergency Dentist FAQ

What should I do if a permanent tooth gets knocked out?

Find the tooth and rinse it gently in cool water — never scrub it or use soap. If possible, place it back in the socket and hold it with clean gauze. If not, keep it in cold milk, saliva, or water and get to us immediately. The faster you act, the better the chance of saving it.

What if my child's baby tooth is knocked out?

Call us as soon as possible — but don't try to replant it. Replanting a baby tooth can damage the permanent tooth developing underneath it.

What if a tooth is chipped or fractured?

Call us right away. Quick action can save the tooth and reduce the need for extensive treatment. Rinse with water, apply a cold compress if your lip was injured, and bring any broken fragment in cold milk or water.

What about a severe blow to the head or a jaw injury?

That needs immediate medical attention — a severe head injury can be life-threatening, and emergency medical teams may reach you faster than you can get to the hospital. Once you're medically cleared, call us for the dental follow-up.

What can I do to relieve pain while I wait for my appointment?

A cold compress against the outside of the cheek helps with swelling. For kids, an age-appropriate dose of over-the-counter pain medication can ease symptoms — avoid heat or aspirin directly on the sore area.
