- Loose or lost dental fillings or crowns
- Swelling or abscess in the mouth
- Uncontrolled bleeding from the gums or mouth
Common Dental Emergencies & Injuries
Understanding the common types of dental emergencies can help you take quick action when needed. Here are some typical situations that require emergency dental care:
- Toothache: Persistent and severe tooth pain that doesn’t subside
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Damage to teeth caused by accidents or biting hard objects
- Knocked-Out Tooth: A tooth that has been completely dislodged from the socket
- Lost Filling or Crown: Dislodged fillings or crowns that leave the tooth exposed
- Abscess: A serious infection in the gums that can spread and cause severe pain
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts or wounds to the gums, cheeks, lips, or tongue

Use over-the-counter pain relievers and apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling and pain.
Is a lost filling or crown considered a dental emergency?
Yes, a lost filling or crown can leave the tooth exposed to damage and infection. Contact us as soon as possible for a replacement.
