FAQs About Dental Emergencies

What is considered a dental emergency?

It typically involves severe pain, bleeding, or trauma to the teeth or mouth that requires immediate attention. This can include knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, abscesses, or injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth. If you’re experiencing intense pain, swelling, or have suffered a dental injury, it’s best to contact us immediately for guidance and treatment.

Is a loose dental implant an emergency?

A loose dental implant can be considered an emergency, especially if it’s causing pain or discomfort. While it may not require immediate attention in all cases, it’s crucial to have it examined as soon as possible. A loose implant could indicate infection, bone loss, or other issues that could compromise your oral health if left untreated. Contact Frontier Family Dental promptly to assess the situation and prevent potential complications.

In cases of severe trauma or life-threatening situations, visit your nearest emergency room immediately.

What to do in a dental emergency?

In a dental emergency, stay calm and take immediate action. For a knocked-out tooth, gently rinse it and try to place it back in the socket, or store it in milk. For severe pain or swelling, use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water for infections or abscesses. Most importantly, contact Frontier Family Dental right away for professional advice and to schedule an emergency appointment.

Is a dental abscess an emergency?

Yes, a dental abscess is considered a dental emergency and requires prompt treatment. An abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection, which can lead to severe pain, swelling, and potentially serious health complications if left untreated. If you suspect you have a dental abscess, contact Frontier Family Dental immediately. We’ll provide guidance on managing the symptoms and schedule you for urgent treatment to address the infection and prevent its spread.
