What counts as an emergency
Knowing what qualifies is not always easy, and people tend to assume any pain counts. In practice dental pain is one of the most common symptoms there is, and most toothaches are not emergencies.
Relentless, excruciating pain usually is. It often comes from severe trauma to the face or a dental abscess. A high fever alongside throbbing pain in the mouth points to an abscess. So does bleeding that is profuse and does not slow or stop, whether it started on its own or after something happened.
Postponing treatment in those cases leads to outcomes worth avoiding. If you are not sure which category you are in, call and describe it. That is a question for us, not for you.
Until you get here
A knocked-out or loosened tooth. Keep it in your mouth by biting gently on a piece of cotton, or put it in a clean container covered in saliva or milk. Either way, be careful not to swallow it.
Pain, with or without a fever. An over-the-counter anti-inflammatory helps, but it should be avoided if you have kidney problems. Check with a pharmacist if you are unsure.
Heavy bleeding. Firm, persistent pressure on the site. Keep it there. Don't lift it to look.
What usually happens next
The first appointment is about getting you out of pain and finding the cause. Depending on what we find, the follow-up is usually one of these.
