What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any sudden issue involving your teeth, gums, or mouth that requires prompt attention. This includes things like severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, or swelling and infection. At Dream Dental, Dr. Assouline and the team understand that these moments are stressful, and we are here to help you get comfortable and get answers as quickly as possible.

Next Steps

What to Do Before Your Appointment

If you are dealing with a dental emergency, reach out to our office as soon as possible so we can guide you through immediate next steps and get you scheduled quickly. Staying calm and contacting us right away is the best first step toward resolving the issue.

 

While you wait for your appointment, try to keep the affected area clean and avoid putting pressure on it. If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it gently by the crown and keep it moist until you can be seen. Our team will walk you through any specific steps that apply to your situation as soon as you reach out.

Signs You May Need Emergency Care

Severe Tooth Pain

Persistent or intense pain can signal an underlying issue that needs prompt attention.

Knocked-Out or Broken Tooth

Time matters with a knocked-out or fractured tooth. Reach out right away so we can guide you on next steps.

Lost Filling or Crown

A missing filling or crown can leave a tooth vulnerable and sensitive. We will get you in to protect it.

Swelling or Infection

Facial swelling, abscess, or persistent infection should never be ignored. Prompt care helps prevent complications.
