Tooth Loss
Having a permanent tooth knocked out is always a serious situation. The sooner a dentist can address it, the better your chances of saving the tooth. Try placing it gently back in the socket or store it in a container of milk, then call us right away.
Chipped or Broken Tooth
Breaking or chipping a tooth can be alarming and may lead to further problems if left untreated. Reach out to us immediately, and in the meantime, rinse your mouth carefully with lukewarm water.
Lost or Damaged Dental Work
A missing filling or crown leaves your tooth vulnerable to damage and infection. Contact us as soon as possible so we can restore it and protect your tooth before bacteria causes complications.
Tooth Pain
Persistent or severe tooth pain that keeps you from sleeping or focusing during the day is a warning sign. Don’t put it off—emergency treatment can provide fast relief and prevent the issue from getting worse.
FAQ's
1. What counts as a dental emergency?
Common emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, lost fillings or crowns, infections, and injuries to the gums or jaw. If you’re in pain or unsure, call us right away.
2. What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Try to place the tooth gently back into the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, store it in a small container of milk and bring it with you. Call us immediately—timing is critical to saving the tooth.
3. Can a severe toothache wait until my next appointment?
No. If your tooth pain is strong enough to interfere with sleep, eating, or daily activities, it’s considered an emergency. Pain often signals infection or another serious issue that requires immediate care.
4. What if I lose a filling or crown?
A missing filling or crown exposes your tooth to bacteria and potential damage. Call us as soon as possible so we can repair or replace it before the problem gets worse.
5. Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?
Yes. At Center Point Dental, Dr. Flaherty and Dr. Stuart do everything possible to see emergency patients the same day to relieve pain and protect your oral health.
