What to Do While Waiting for Your Emergency Dental Care

We like to advise our patients on what to do right when a dental emergency happens so they can best prepare. Depending on your circumstances, you might live further away from the dentist and will need to protect your teeth as you are heading to the dentist. 

Call Dr. Butler Immediately

Dental emergencies need to be treated as promptly as possible. Our office will do our best to fit you in as soon as we are able.

Be Prepared

Use warm water to gently rinse the area of any dirt to reduce pain or swelling. Ice packs and ibuprofen are also helpful to keep your pain minimal.

Protect Knocked-Out Teeth (if applicable)

Placing a dislodged tooth in a glass of milk can help protect the tooth. Dr. Butler may be able to reattach the tooth in this state.

Common Dental Emergencies

Urgent dental care can include many problems—here we’ve listed the most common ones we see. If you need an extra opinion on your dental pain, feel free to give us a call and see if your symptoms denote an emergency. It is always better to be safe than sorry! 

Severe Toothache 

Many patients experience toothaches that originate from dental decay or common accidents. In these situations, Dr. Butler can perform a cleaning to get the painful bacteria out of your system. In more serious cases, our office offers fillings or crowns to restore the function of your teeth!

Chipped Tooth 

Immediate treatment for a chipped tooth is crucial to prevent further damage or infection. At our office, we can help restore your tooth and protect it from bacteria with many options including dental bonding, veneers, or crowns.

Cracked or Broken Teeth

Teeth are powerful but not invincible. Poor oral health, eating hard foods, and even old age can cause a cracked tooth or a fully broken tooth. Dr. Butler will closely analyze your teeth to determine a restoration solution that will best address your needs and quickly restore your health. 

Facial Trauma/Injury

Teeth often take the brunt of accidents or athletic injuries. If you have a critically broken tooth or cracked tooth, call Dr. Butler right away. Our team is skilled in efficiently preventing further damage and quality emergency dentistry to replace any missing teeth. 

If you are experiencing significant jaw damage (especially if it blocks your airways), call 911 to receive direct attention. 

Tooth Knocked Out

For a knocked-out tooth, emergency treatment is vital to possibly reimplant the tooth successfully. On your way to our office for your urgent dental care, keep the dislodged tooth moist in either your cheek or a small jar of milk. This can increase the chances of saving the tooth. 

Once you get here, Dr. Butler will closely examine the affected area and determine the best way to possibly save your tooth. If the knocked-out tooth was damaged too much, he may recommend replacing the tooth with a dental prosthetic instead.

Abscess

A dental abscess often feels like a large bump or pimple-like spot on your gums—especially around your tooth roots. It can often be the cause of a major toothache. Dental abscesses require urgent dental care to prevent the spread of infection, which can be threatening to your overall health. 

Loose or Dislodged Tooth

Dr. Butler and our dedicated team prioritize urgent action for loose or dislodged teeth. We may splint the affected tooth to neighboring ones for enhanced stability, or consider a root canal procedure if there’s nerve damage. Our goal is always to preserve your natural tooth and safeguard your oral health from further complications.

Excessive Bleeding in the Mouth

Major dental infections, hard falls, or a badly broken tooth may result in your gums bleeding beyond control. In these cases, it is best to schedule an emergency dentistry appointment with Dr. Butler to keep these symptoms in control.
