What is Considered a Dental Emergency?

It’s common to wonder whether your situation qualifies as a dental emergency. Here are some examples that require immediate attention from our Falls Church emergency dentists:

• Severe Toothache: Persistent or intense tooth pain could indicate an infection or abscess.
• Chipped or Cracked Tooth: Damage to a tooth can lead to further complications if left unattended.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: Acting quickly can increase the chances of saving a tooth that's been knocked out.
• Bleeding Gums or Soft Tissue Injuries: Unstoppable bleeding after dental trauma needs urgent care.
• Lost Filling or Crown: Missing restorations can expose the inner structure of your tooth, leaving it vulnerable to damage or infection.
• Swelling or Abscess: Swelling in your face or gums may signal an infection that requires immediate intervention.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, don’t hesitate to contact us. Early treatment can make a significant difference in pain relief and successful outcomes.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

When faced with a dental emergency, quick action can make all the difference. Here are a few general tips to follow:

• Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it with water, and try to place it back into the socket if possible. If not, store it in a container of milk and call us immediately.
• Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water to keep the area clean. Use over-the-counter pain relief, but avoid aspirin as it can cause further irritation.
• Broken Tooth: Rinse with warm water, and save any broken pieces if possible. Apply a cold compress to manage swelling.

Preventing Dental Emergencies

While accidents aren’t always avoidable, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of dental emergencies:

• Wear a custom mouthguard during sports or physical activities.
• Avoid chewing on hard items like ice or popcorn kernels that can crack your teeth.
• Schedule regular dental checkups to catch small issues before they become bigger problems.
• Practice good oral hygiene habits, like brushing twice a day and flossing daily.
