Dental emergencies can occur at any time—even outside regular office hours. From sudden pain to injuries or broken teeth, knowing when and how to seek help is crucial. Some issues clearly need immediate attention, while others may seem minor but still require a professional evaluation. Use this guide to understand common dental emergencies and when it’s time to contact a dentist.

1. Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Tooth

2. Loose or Knocked-Out Tooth

3. Tooth Pain

4. Bitten Lip or Tongue

1

Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Tooth

If a tooth is chipped or broken, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to help reduce pain and swelling. Contact your dentist immediately. If possible, bring any broken pieces of the tooth with you, wrapped in a damp cloth or gauze.

2

Loose or Knocked-Out Tooth

If a tooth becomes loose or is knocked out, try to carefully place it back into its socket, holding it by the crown (top) only. If the tooth is dirty, rinse it gently with water—avoid scrubbing or removing any attached tissue. If reinsertion isn’t possible, keep the tooth in milk or tucked safely under your tongue, and see a dentist immediately.

3

Tooth Pain

Persistent or severe tooth pain should never be ignored, as it may indicate an infection or other serious dental issue. Instead of self-treating with over-the-counter painkillers, contact a dental professional for an accurate diagnosis and effective relief.

4

Bitten Lip or Tongue

If you accidentally bite your lip or tongue, gently clean the area with a damp cloth and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If bleeding is heavy or doesn’t stop, seek emergency dental care immediately.

Knowing how to respond during a dental emergency can make a big difference. If you experience any of these issues, don’t wait—contact a dental office that provides urgent care right away.
