Dental emergencies can happen without warning. Whether it’s a cracked tooth, severe pain, or a knocked-out tooth, knowing when to act quickly can make all the difference. At Springs Dentistry, we provide expert emergency dental care to relieve pain, repair damage, and preserve your oral health.
Understanding Dental Emergencies
A dental emergency is any situation where you need immediate care to stop pain, save a tooth, or prevent further damage. Common examples include intense toothaches, swelling or bleeding, broken or chipped teeth, and knocked-out teeth. Acting fast ensures the best outcome, especially when trauma or infection is involved.
Dental trauma can affect not only the teeth but also the surrounding bone and soft tissues. These injuries often occur due to accidents, falls, or impacts from sports. The front teeth, particularly the upper incisors, are the most likely to be affected. If you’ve suffered an injury to your teeth or mouth, it’s important to contact a dentist right away rather than waiting to see if the pain subsides.
Types of Dental Emergencies
Tooth fractures are among the most common emergencies. They can range from minor cracks to more serious breaks that expose the inner pulp of the tooth. In some cases, the damage may extend below the gumline, requiring a root canal or crown to restore the tooth.
Another serious issue is tooth avulsion—when a tooth is completely knocked out. In this situation, every minute counts. If possible, place the tooth back in its socket or store it in milk or a tooth preservation kit until you reach our office. Quick action within 30 minutes gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
Other emergencies include tooth dislocation, compression, or loosening caused by trauma. A dentist can often reposition and stabilize these teeth with a splint, but prompt treatment is essential to prevent permanent damage.
When to Call for Emergency Care
You should contact Springs Dentistry immediately if you’re experiencing severe pain, visible damage, uncontrolled bleeding, or swelling in the mouth or jaw. Even seemingly small issues—like a foreign object lodged between your teeth—can become serious if ignored. Delaying treatment often leads to more complex and costly procedures later.
Our team is trained to handle urgent dental needs with precision and compassion. We’ll quickly assess the situation, relieve your discomfort, and begin treatment to restore your smile.
