What is emergency dentistry?
Emergency dentistry is about getting quick treatment for urgent dental problems. If you're in severe pain or at risk of permanent damage, you need help fast. The goal is to relieve your pain, prevent more damage, and get your teeth and gums back to health.
1 in 5 Americans will face a dental emergency at some point, which can include severe pain or injuries. Each year, about 1 million people visit the emergency room for dental issues, such as toothaches, broken teeth, or accidents.

24 Hour Dental Emergency Services
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, which is why 24 hour dental emergency services are essential.
Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or an injury, having access to immediate care can make a big difference. Prompt treatment helps prevent further damage, reduces pain, and speeds up recovery.
Without quick care, what might start as a minor issue can quickly turn into something more serious and uncomfortable.
So, having a reliable emergency service available at all times ensures you get the help you need whenever an urgent dental problem arises.
How to Handle a Dental Emergency at Home
If you experience a dental emergency, here are some immediate steps to take:
- Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any trapped food. Avoid using aspirin on the aching tooth.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep the tooth moist by placing it back in its socket if possible or in a container of milk. Seek immediate dental care.
- Broken Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Lost Filling or Crown: Use dental cement or a piece of sugarless gum to temporarily fill the cavity until you see a dentist.
- Soft Tissue Injury: Clean the area gently with water and apply pressure to stop bleeding. Seek emergency dental care if bleeding persists.
Avoid using sharp objects to remove debris from your teeth, and refrain from placing aspirin directly on a tooth or gum to alleviate pain, as it can burn the tissue.

Q & A
Check our Q&A to gain insights into quick solutions for dental emergencies. Your questions are answered promptly because your smile can't wait.
What’s considered a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies are injuries or infections that can cause lasting damage to your oral health. Suffering a blow to the face, biting down on something too hard, or another kind of accident or injury are common causes of dental emergencies. Even a minor toothache can become an emergency.
A few examples of dental emergencies include:
- Abscesses (infections)
- Broken teeth
- Knocked-out teeth
- Severe mouth pain
Dental symptoms can be mild in some cases. But if they come with other symptoms, like fever or facial swelling, you could have yourself a dental emergency.
Do I need emergency dentistry treatment?
Toothaches are common, but it’s not always easy to know if your symptoms call for a trip to the emergency dentist. Injuries that knock out a tooth, bleeding that won’t stop, or severe tooth or mouth pain — these situations always demand prompt emergency dentistry attention.
Symptoms of a severe infection include fever and bumps on your gums. You should seek emergency dentistry treatment if you notice signs of an infection. Even if you don’t have other symptoms, you should always seek emergency dentistry treatment if the pain lasts longer than a day or two.
Emergency treatments focus on stopping bleeding, reducing pain, and preserving your natural teeth. In some cases, saving your tooth isn’t possible. An emergency extraction will be necessary.
Can emergency dentistry save a knocked-out tooth?
It’s normal for children to lose their baby teeth between 6 and 12. Baby teeth are naturally replaced with permanent teeth, but there’s nothing to replace a permanent tooth if it falls out.
If you lose a permanent tooth, it might be able to be saved with prompt emergency dentistry treatment. Find the tooth and carefully retrieve it without touching the root. Rinse it in cool water to remove visible dirt. Try to put it back in the socket and hold it in place with gauze.
If you can’t keep the tooth in place, put it in a glass of saliva or milk. Bring it to your emergency dental appointment. Dr. Hwang and her team will try to save it. Teeth that are put back in place within about an hour have a good chance of being saved.
Accidents happen to everyone. Knowing what to do in a dental emergency can protect your oral health. If you need quick emergency dentistry treatment, call the Smile for Miles Dental office today.
