What You Can Do in a Dental Emergency

In a dental emergency, it’s crucial to remain calm and take the following steps:

Contact Us

Call Tartan Dental immediately to schedule an emergency appointment. Our team will prioritize your visit and arrange for you to see one of our skilled dentists as soon as possible.

Manage Pain

Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to manage discomfort until you see the dentist. Avoid placing aspirin or any pain reliever directly on the affected area to prevent further irritation.

Control Bleeding

If there is any bleeding, use a clean cloth or gauze to apply gentle pressure to the area until the bleeding stops.

Handle a Knocked-out Tooth Carefully

If a tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown (the top part) and avoid touching the roots. Rinse it gently with water if it’s dirty, but do not scrub or remove any tissue fragments. If possible, try to place the tooth back into its socket without force. If this is not possible, store the tooth in a container of milk or saliva until you can see the dentist.

Protect Broken Teeth

If a tooth is chipped or broken, try to save any broken pieces. Rinse your mouth with warm water and avoid biting on the affected area.Protect Broken Teeth

How We Treat Dental Emergencies and Injuries

At Tartan Dental, our experienced dentists are equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies with the utmost care and efficiency. Here are some of the emergency dental services we offer:

Dental Exams:

During your emergency visit, one of our dentists will perform a comprehensive dental examination to assess the extent of the injury or problem. This examination allows us to provide an accurate diagnosis and tailor the appropriate treatment for your specific needs.

Pain Relief:

We understand that dental emergencies can be extremely painful. Our team will prioritize pain relief, ensuring you receive prompt relief from discomfort so you can feel more at ease.

Abscess Treatment:

An abscess is a serious dental infection that requires immediate attention. Our dentists will provide effective treatment to alleviate pain, eliminate the infection, and prevent its spread to other parts of your body.

Same-Day Crowns:

In cases of a broken or severely damaged tooth, our same-day crown system allows us to provide you with a custom-made crown in a single visit. This saves you time and ensures your tooth is quickly restored to its full functionality and appearance.

Root Canals:

When the dental pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to injury or decay, a root canal procedure may be necessary to save the tooth. Our skilled dentists are experienced in performing root canals to relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth.

Tooth Extractions:

If a tooth is severely damaged or cannot be saved, our dentists will perform a gentle and precise tooth extraction. We prioritize your comfort throughout the procedure and discuss replacement options to restore your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is emergency dentistry?
Emergency dentistry is a branch of dental care that provides immediate attention and treatment for dental issues that require urgent care. Dental emergencies can include severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, abscesses, and other sudden oral health problems that cause significant pain or discomfort.

You should seek emergency dental care if you experience any of the following:

  • Severe and persistent tooth pain

  • A knocked-out or partially dislodged tooth

  • A chipped, fractured, or broken tooth

  • A loose dental restoration, such as a filling or crown

  • Uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth

  • Swelling or abscess in the gums or face

  • Injury to the mouth or teeth due to an accident or trauma

While hospital emergency rooms can provide initial care for dental emergencies, they are not equipped to provide specialized dental treatments. It is essential to contact an emergency dentist for prompt and appropriate dental care.

If you have a knocked-out tooth, follow these steps:

    • Pick up the tooth by the crown (the top part) and avoid touching the roots.

    • Rinse the tooth gently with water if it’s dirty, but do not scrub or remove any tissue fragments.

    • If possible, try to place the tooth back into its socket without force.

    • If reinsertion is not possible, store the tooth in a container of milk or saliva until you can see a dentist.

    • Seek emergency dental care immediately for the best chance of saving the tooth.

While waiting for emergency dental care, you can try the following at-home remedies to temporarily relieve tooth pain:

  • Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater

  • Use over-the-counter pain relievers as directed

  • Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling and numb the pain

During an emergency dental visit, the dentist will perform a thorough examination of the affected area and take any necessary X-rays to diagnose the issue accurately. After the diagnosis, the dentist will recommend the appropriate treatment to address your dental emergency.

While some dental emergencies are unavoidable, you can take steps to minimize the risk:

  • Practice good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly

  • Wear a mouthguard during sports activities

  • Avoid using your teeth to open bottles or bite on hard objects

  • Schedule regular dental check-ups to address any potential dental issues before they become emergencies

At Tartan Dental, we understand that emergencies can happen at any time. We provide emergency dental care during regular office hours and offer after-hours emergency contact information for urgent cases.
At Tartan Dental, we have a team of experienced dentists who are skilled in handling dental emergencies with precision and compassion.
