What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies vary, but if something feels off or painful, it's always best to contact us. Our experienced team will listen to your concerns and determine how urgent your situation is. Some common dental emergencies include:

  • Severe toothaches or pain
  • Broken, chipped, or fractured teeth
  • Lost crowns or fillings
  • Swollen or inflamed gums
  • Knocked-out or partially knocked-out teeth
  • Dental abscesses or infections
  • Damage to soft tissues like lips and cheeks

We encourage you to call your friendly Mesquite Dental team as soon as possible. While dental visits may not be your favorite thing to do, delaying emergency dental care often leads to more significant complications and even permanent damage.

How to Handle Common Dental Emergencies

  • Toothache — Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss to remove debris stuck between teeth. Place a cold compress on your cheek in the affected area if your mouth is swollen. 
  • Lost crown or filling — If a crown comes off, try placing it back using over-the-counter dental cement or bring it with you to your appointment. For lost fillings, keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side until you see the dentist.
  • Broken tooth — Rinse with warm water and apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on the broken tooth. 
  • Knocked-out or partially knocked-out tooth — Call us immediately, as time treatment is crucial to save the tooth. Hold the tooth by the crown (the chewing part) without touching the root or any tissue attached to it. Gently rinse the tooth if dirty. If possible, reinsert it into the socket. If not, place it in a glass of milk or a container of saliva and bring it with you to our office.

Tips to Prevent Dental Emergencies

Taking the following steps can help minimize trips to your emergency dentist: 

  • Wear a mouthguard during sports activities. 
  • Avoid chewing on hard foods, ice, or hard candy.
  • Do not use your teeth to open packages or cut things.
  • Stay current with routine checkups to spot issues before they become emergencies.
