WHEN TO CALL
Respond quickly to these dental emergencies
Seek prompt care when pain, swelling, bleeding, or damage threatens a tooth or your health.
Severe tooth pain or sensitivity
Throbbing, persistent, or sleep-disrupting pain may signal decay, inflammation, a fracture, or infection.
Facial swelling or infection
Facial swelling, fever, drainage, or a foul taste may indicate an abscess that requires prompt treatment.
Broken or knocked-out tooth
Fast care may protect exposed tissue and improve the chance of preserving an injured permanent tooth.
Lost restoration or oral bleeding
A missing restoration, exposed tooth structure, or bleeding that won’t stop requires timely evaluation.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
Protect the affected area until your visit
- Keep a knocked-out permanent tooth moist in milk or tooth-preservation solution.
- Apply a cold compress outside the cheek to manage pain and swelling.
- Press clean gauze against bleeding tissue; never glue restorations back into place.
Review the American Dental Association’s dental emergency guidance for additional first-aid precautions.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What happens during an emergency dental visit?
Your visit moves from focused diagnostics to stabilization and the treatment your condition requires.
Diagnose the source of pain
Your dentist will review your symptoms, examine the area, and take digital X-rays when needed. Imaging can reveal decay, infection, fractures, or damage below the gumline.
Stabilize the affected area
Urgent care may control bleeding, cover exposed tooth structure, reduce pressure, or protect a damaged tooth. Complex cases may require another procedure or a specialist referral.
Complete the right treatment
Care may include a tooth-colored filling, dental crown, or root canal therapy. Extraction is considered only when the tooth can’t be repaired safely.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about Emergency Dental Care
Know when dental symptoms require an office visit or immediate medical attention.
Is a bad toothache considered a dental emergency?
Yes, if the pain is severe, persistent, worsening, or accompanied by swelling, fever, drainage, or difficulty eating. Prompt evaluation can distinguish decay, a fracture, inflammation, or infection.
How long is too long for tooth pain?
Contact a dentist when pain lasts more than a day or two, keeps returning, interrupts sleep, or worsens. Seek faster care if it follows an injury or occurs with fever, swelling, or bleeding.
What are the signs of a tooth infection?
Possible signs include throbbing pain, sensitivity, facial swelling, fever, drainage, a foul taste, tender lymph nodes, or difficulty opening your mouth. A dental abscess needs professional care and won’t reliably resolve without treatment. MedlinePlus outlines additional tooth abscess symptoms.
What should I do if tooth pain is unbearable at night?
Contact the dental office, keep your head elevated, apply a cold compress, and take an appropriate over-the-counter pain reliever as labeled. Call 911 if swelling spreads rapidly or affects breathing or swallowing.
What does tooth sepsis feel like?
Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction that can occur when an infection spreads. Warning signs may include confusion, rapid breathing, a fast heart rate, fever or unusually low temperature, clammy skin, and extreme weakness. Call 911 immediately.
