What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Severe Toothache Persistent, severe tooth pain — especially pain that wakes you at night or isn’t relieved by over-the-counter painkillers — usually signals a significant problem: advanced decay, a dental abscess, a cracked tooth, or an exposed nerve. This is not something to wait out. Early treatment is simpler and less expensive.
Knocked-Out Tooth (Avulsion) A knocked-out permanent tooth can often be saved if you act within 30–60 minutes. This is one of the few true dental emergencies where every minute counts.
What to do immediately:
- Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown (the white part), not the root
- If visibly dirty, rinse gently with clean water — do not scrub or use soap
- Gently try to place it back in the socket — hold it with your lips or finger
- If you can’t reinsert it, place it in cold milk or saliva (inside your cheek)
- Call ZDentistry and come in immediately
Do not wrap the tooth in tissue or let it dry out. A tooth that is out of its socket for more than an hour has a much lower chance of successful re-implantation.
Broken or Fractured Tooth A broken tooth can be painful and sharp, and may expose the inner nerve. Rinse your mouth with warm water, save any broken pieces, apply a cold compress to the cheek to reduce swelling, and contact us urgently. Do not attempt to glue the piece back yourself.
Dental Abscess An abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection. It can originate from a decayed tooth or infected gum. Signs include:
- Severe, throbbing toothache
- Swelling in the gum, face, or jaw
- Fever and feeling unwell
- A bad taste or smell in the mouth
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
A dental abscess will not resolve on its own. It requires professional drainage and antibiotic treatment. Left untreated, the infection can spread rapidly — in rare cases becoming life-threatening.
Lost Filling or Crown A lost filling or crown exposes the tooth to sensitivity, pain, and further damage. Cover the exposed area temporarily with sugar-free chewing gum or dental cement (available from a pharmacy), avoid chewing on that side, and contact ZDentistry to arrange a same-day or next-day appointment.
Soft Tissue Injuries Cuts or lacerations to the lips, tongue, or inside of the cheeks from falls or accidents. Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth to control bleeding. If bleeding does not stop within 15–20 minutes, go to the hospital emergency department.
