What is Considered to be a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any circumstance when the teeth, mouth, gums have been injured or when you are in pain and require immediate medical care. What exactly constitutes a dental emergency? Here are some of the most common situations that are typically considered urgent and we urge you to visit us:

Broken/Fractured Tooth
Partially Knocked-Out Tooth
Fully Knocked-Out Tooth
Serious Toothache
Item Stuck Between Teeth
Soft Tissue Injury
Jaw Injury
Lost Crown
Lost Filling
Oral Bleeding
If heavy, sustained oral bleeding is occurring or it’s possible your jaw has been broken, please proceed straight to your nearest emergency room for assistance.

While some instances of dental damage can't be avoided, there are some steps you can take to decrease your family’s risk of experiencing dental emergencies. Be careful when eating foods that are overly hard or sticky, and don’t chew on the ice in your drink. Always wear an athletic mouthguard when participating in your favorite sporting event. Use scissors instead of your teeth to open the packaging. And most importantly, make sure to attend regular check-ups and cleanings! During these visits, Dr. Joseph and his staff can locate and treat minor issues that could have turned into the dental emergencies of tomorrow without intervention.

The Emergency Dentistry Process

Immediate Response & Assessment

When you contact our emergency line, you'll speak directly with our care team or Dr. Joseph. We'll ask key questions about your situation to determine the severity and provide immediate guidance for temporary relief. Our team will schedule you for the earliest possible appointment – often the same day. For severe emergencies, Dr. Joseph will make special arrangements to see you right away, even after regular office hours.

Emergency Treatment

Upon arrival, we'll immediately address your pain and conduct a focused examination. This may include digital X-rays to assess hidden damage. Dr. Joseph will explain what's happening and outline your treatment options. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped to handle various dental emergencies on the spot. Whether you need a tooth repaired, replaced, or immediate pain relief, we have the expertise and technology to help.

Aftercare & Prevention

After addressing your immediate emergency, we'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery. This includes pain management guidelines and any necessary prescriptions. We'll schedule any needed follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure everything is progressing well. Dr. Joseph will also discuss preventive measures to help avoid future emergencies.
