Can the ER help with a tooth?

The ER staff can get patients stabilized, control bleeding, and give treatment for dental fractures. In the case of bacterial infections, they can provide antibiotics and will arrange for transfer to the hospital if necessary. They can also treat broken, dislodged, or fractured teeth and help to control severe pain.

How quickly can you get emergency dental treatment?

Most dental practices will keep a number of appointments available for potential emergency appointments and usually you will be able to be seen in the next 24 hours. This appointment may be within or outside the usual operating hours of the practice.

Can I go to the ER for tooth pain?

How To Manage Pain

Managing pain can be scary and cause significant pain. It is important to take steps quickly to minimise damage and seek professional attention. For example, if you lose a tooth, you should stop any bleeding and rinse the tooth with water before going to the dentist.

Other emergencies require immediate dental attention. If you let a dental emergency fester, it could quickly develop into an even more dangerous condition, such as an infection or stroke.

Common Concerns

Preventative dental care is the single best way to prevent dental emergencies. But even if you brush and floss every day, you might still encounter a broken tooth or sore gums. Getting fast, immediate care is the best course of action when you encounter a dental emergency.

Dental emergencies can range from mild to severe. Below are some of the most common dental problems we encounter and what to do.

Knocked Out Tooth

If you knock out your tooth, the first thing you should do is find the missing tooth and rinse the root with warm water. Store the tooth in a jar with warm water, and contact a local emergency dentists as quickly as possible.

Cracked Tooth

Cracked teeth can cause significant pain and bleeding. If you have cracked teeth, place a bit of gauze to stop bleeding and use a compress to reduce any swelling. Your dentist can fix your tooth by placing a filling or a crown.

Loose or Missing Crown

Crowns restore broken teeth to full functionality, so you’ll need to fix them quickly if they break. If the crown falls off, rinse it with water and warp it in gauze. You can also apply dental cement to seal the hole before going to the dentist.
