What Is Considered a
Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any oral health problem that requires immediate attention to stop bleeding, relieve severe pain, or save a tooth. If left untreated, these conditions can worsen quickly and even lead to more serious health issues.

Common dental emergencies include:

 

  • 🔹 Severe toothache that doesn’t go away

  • 🔹 Swollen face or gums (possible infection or abscess)

  • 🔹 Cracked, chipped, or broken tooth

  • 🔹 Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth

  • 🔹 Loose or displaced adult tooth

  • 🔹 Bleeding that won’t stop after trauma or oral surgery

  • 🔹 Lost filling, crown, or bridge causing pain or exposure

  • 🔹 Injury to the lips, gums, or tongue

  •  
 
 

If you’re in doubt, call us. It’s always better to get evaluated quickly—especially when you’re in pain or think a tooth is at risk.

Real Testimonials
From Real Patients

5/5
Callie and team did a great job with cleaning and the consultation. They really made me feel welcome for the first visit, and secured me and my wife as new/returning clients going forward. Dr Meta came up with a plan and made the experience great. Julie and Ben at the front office made scheduling and discussing the cost / insurance really easy, and scheduling was just as simple. I left the appointment feeling great, and honestly one of my more favorable visits to a Dentist
Joshua K.Patient
I came to Dr. Mehta and his staff blindly (other than from positive reviews on here) after being under-confident with where I was previously. I have been nothing but happy with my experience here. From Julie at the front, to the hygienist and Dr. Mehta, everyone has been kind, helpful, professional and confidence-building so much so that I agreed to the major (for me) procedure I knew I needed done, after just one meeting. I am so thankful to have found a clearly knowledgeable and reliable dentist and office so close to home!
Paula V.Patient
Dr. Mehta and his team are amazing! We have been patients at Dentistry on the Ponds for 10 + years, have been so impressed with the transition from Dr. Abrahamson to Dr. Mehta. Fully appreciate the care we receive, and grateful to have a dentist that we love! Always a happy environment when we must pay a visit to the dentist.

How To Handle A
Dental Emergency

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, here’s what you should do right now:

Step 1: Call Us Immediately

 

The sooner we can assess the issue, the better your chances of saving the tooth and avoiding complications. Same-day appointments are often available.

 

Step 2: Follow These Emergency Tips

 

Depending on the type of emergency, here’s what you can do while waiting to be seen:

  • Toothache or Swelling
    Rinse with warm salt water. Take over-the-counter pain relievers (like ibuprofen). Do not apply aspirin directly to gums.

  • Knocked-Out Tooth
    Handle it by the crown (not the root). If possible, gently place it back in the socket or keep it in milk or saliva. Time is critical — ideally see a dentist within 30 minutes.

  • Cracked or Broken Tooth
    Rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any pieces if possible.

  • Lost Filling or Crown
    Try to keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side. Temporary dental cement (available at drugstores) can help protect the area until you’re seen.

  • Bleeding from the Mouth
    Apply firm pressure with a clean gauze or cloth. If it doesn’t stop within 10–15 minutes, seek urgent care immediately.

Remember: The worst thing you can do is wait.
