The definition of “dental emergency” is quite flexible. At our practice, we define a dental emergency as any dental problem that is causing you pain, interfering with your daily life, or that you can’t treat on your own. Some examples of this include:
Dental Injuries
Oral Tissue Injuries
Lost or Damaged Dental Work
Toothaches and Oral Pain
Injuries such as cracked, chipped, damaged, avulsed (knocked-out), or loose teeth.
Injuries such as cuts or lacerations to the mouth, lips, gums, and cheeks.
Missing, loose, or damaged dental work, such as crowns, fillings, and bridges.
Serious pain and toothache from infected teeth or periodontitis (gum disease).
Whatever your anxiety level is, we have an option for you.
Stay Calm and Assess the Situation
In a dental emergency, it’s essential to remain calm and evaluate the severity of the issue. Check for signs of pain, swelling, or bleeding, and take note of any lost or damaged teeth or restorations.
Protect the Affected Area
If a tooth is knocked out, gently rinse it with water and try to place it back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, keep it moist in milk or saline. For swelling, apply a cold compress. If a filling or crown breaks, save any pieces and cover sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free gum.
Contact Your Dentist Immediately
Call your dentist as soon as possible to schedule an emergency appointment. Early treatment can prevent complications and ensure the best possible outcome. At White Dental Spa, we prioritize same-day care for dental emergencies to help you feel better fast.
A dental emergency includes anything causing severe pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, or damage to your teeth or gums. Common emergencies include toothaches, knocked-out teeth, cracked or broken teeth, abscesses, and loose or lost crowns or fillings.
Yes. We do our best to accommodate emergency patients as quickly as possible—often the same day. Call us right away so we can prioritize your care.
Go to the ER if you have uncontrollable bleeding, trouble breathing, facial trauma, or a broken jaw. For most tooth-related issues—pain, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, swelling, or lost restorations—call us first. Dental emergencies are best handled by a dentist.
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it with water, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it moist in milk or saline. Call us immediately—timing is critical for saving the tooth.
Use over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and keep the area clean. Avoid aspirin directly on the gums—it can burn the tissue.
In many cases, yes. Depending on the severity, we may restore it with bonding, a crown, or another restorative treatment. Bring any broken pieces with you, and avoid chewing on that side.
Keep the restoration and avoid chewing on the affected side. Call us right away—we can usually re-cement or replace it quickly to protect your tooth.
