What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Contact us immediately if you are experiencing significant pain, swelling, dental trauma or another concern that cannot wait for a routine appointment. Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- Facial, jaw or gum swelling
- Signs of infection or a dental abscess
- A chipped, cracked or broken tooth
- A knocked-out tooth
- A lost crown or filling
- Bleeding that will not stop
- An injury to the teeth, gums or jaw
- Sudden sensitivity or significant discomfort
If you are unsure whether your concern is an emergency, call us. We will listen to what is happening, provide immediate guidance and help arrange the earliest appropriate appointment.
Call 911 or visit the nearest emergency department if you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, serious facial trauma or rapidly increasing swelling.
What Happens When You Call?
Tell us what is happening and how you are feeling. Our team will ask a few questions, help you understand how urgently you need to be seen and provide guidance on what to do until your appointment. We will then work to arrange the earliest appropriate appointment at Long Lake or Northfield Dental Clinic.
Our priority is to help relieve your pain, protect your oral health and prevent the problem from becoming more serious. You do not need to be an existing patient to call for help.
What to Expect at Your Emergency Dental Appointment
Your dentist will examine the affected area, discuss your symptoms and take X-rays when needed. Our first priority is to help relieve your pain, control infection and prevent further damage. We will explain what is happening, review your treatment options and help you understand the next steps.
Depending on the emergency, treatment may involve repairing a damaged tooth, replacing a lost restoration, treating an infection or stabilizing the problem before follow-up care.
