Frequently Asked Questions
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include a knocked-out or dislodged tooth, a cracked or fractured tooth, severe toothache that does not respond to over-the-counter pain relief, a lost filling or crown exposing the tooth, uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth, and swelling of the face or gums that may indicate infection.
What to Do Before Your Emergency Appointment
If you have knocked out a tooth, place it back in the socket if possible or keep it moist in milk and see a dentist within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving it. For severe pain, take over-the-counter pain relief as directed and apply a cold compress to any swelling. If you have uncontrolled bleeding or difficulty breathing, call 000 or visit your nearest emergency department.
