If you’re experiencing pain or have concerns about your teeth, reach out to us—we’ll help you determine if you need immediate dental care. A dental emergency may be happening if…

• You have a persistent toothache
• Chewing, brushing, or talking causes pain
• A tooth is loose, chipped, or broken
• Your gums are swollen, bleeding, or won’t stop bleeding

Common symptoms of an infected tooth may include:

• Continuous tooth discomfort
• Prolonged dental sensitivity
• Jaw discomfort or tenderness

Having a toothache or other dental concern doesn’t always mean your tooth needs to be removed. We’ll perform a thorough examination to determine whether the problem can be treated with a filling, crown, or root canal. If a tooth extraction is necessary, we’ll guide you through what to expect and help create a plan to replace the tooth.

Your toothache may ease or even go away temporarily, but that doesn’t mean the underlying problem is gone. Waiting too long can lead to more damage and increased discomfort. Always seek professional care for a toothache promptly to prevent a bigger issue.

If your tooth is intact, handle it by the crown and avoid touching the root. Gently rinse it under running water and, if possible, carefully place it back into the socket. Contact us immediately to let us know what happened. The sooner you receive treatment, the better the chances of saving your tooth.
