Dental Emergency FAQs
How Do I Know If I Have a Dental Emergency?
There are a few signs to look for if you’re dealing with a dental emergency:
- Bleeding
- Swelling
- Broken or Knocked-Out Tooth
But if you want to err on the side of caution, any time you are feeling serious pain in your oral cavity (i.e. teeth, gums, lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, jaw), it’s best to contact our office and alert us to the situation. By describing your current state and what transpired, we can better determine if you should get in to see us immediately.
What Can I Take to Help with Tooth Pain?
When a toothache occurs, you will do just about anything to get rid of the pain. If you find yourself looking for pliers, stop. While the discomfort might be unpleasant or almost debilitating, there are things you can take or use to help alleviate some of the pain, including:
- An ice pack or cold compress – This will reduce swelling and help with the pain
- Salt and hot water mixture – This will reduce any irritation and aching feeling
- Hydrogen peroxide and water – You can gargle with this mixture, but make sure to spit it out
- Apple cider vinegar – Using a cotton ball, soak it in the vinegar and place it on the aching tooth to relieve discomfort and swelling
How Long Does a Toothache Last?
Much of this depends on what is causing your toothache. In most situations, a toothache should never last more than a day; however, if after 1-2 days your pain is not going away, go ahead and call our office. Once we are able to thoroughly examine the tooth, we will be able to determine what is the reason for the pain and how best to treat it.
Should I Go to the Emergency Room?
If you are experiencing a traumatic injury to your mouth, it is understandable that you would want to go to the emergency room; however, depending on the situation, you could be forced to sit in a waiting room for hours before seeing a doctor. In the majority of cases, our team can quickly diagnose the problem and administer the correct method of treatment, but if you are dealing with continual bleeding that will not stop, severe swelling, or a broken or dislocated jaw, you should visit your local ER as soon as possible.
