Severe toothache
Persistent, throbbing, lingering or worsening pain deserves assessment rather than relying on temporary pain relief alone.

COMMON URGENT DENTAL PROBLEMS
Start with what you are experiencing.
Not every urgent dental problem needs the same treatment. The first goal is to understand the cause, assess the tooth and surrounding tissues, and decide what needs attention now versus what can be planned after the immediate problem is stabilized.
Broken or cracked tooth
A deep chip, fracture or pain when biting can involve different layers of the tooth and may need anything from bonding to a crown or root canal evaluation.
Knocked-out tooth
This can be time-sensitive. Handle the tooth carefully and call immediately for instructions while arranging urgent care.
Lost crown or filling
A missing restoration can expose sensitive tooth structure or leave the tooth vulnerable to further breakage.
Swelling or infection concern
Increasing swelling, pain, fever or a bad taste can be associated with infection and should be assessed promptly.
Dental trauma
After a blow to the mouth, a tooth may be loose, fractured, displaced or damaged below the surface even if the visible change seems small.
URGENT EXAMINATION
The same symptom can lead to different treatment decisions.
Tooth pain may come from decay, a crack, bite trauma, gum inflammation, infection or another cause. An emergency examination is about finding the source before choosing the repair.
Browse dental concernsWHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL EMERGENCY CARE
Some situations belong in the ER, not a dental waiting room.
If you are having difficulty breathing or swallowing, severe rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness or another potentially life-threatening problem, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Trouble breathing or swallowingCall 911 or seek emergency medical care immediately.
Severe swelling affecting the airwayDo not wait for a dental appointment if breathing or swallowing is affected.
Uncontrolled bleeding or major traumaEmergency medical evaluation may be needed before dental follow-up.
WHAT TO DO WHILE YOU CALL
Simple steps before the examination.
These are general measures, not a substitute for diagnosis. The team may give different instructions after hearing what happened.
Knocked-out tooth
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Do not scrub it. Call immediately for instructions and keep the tooth protected while arranging care.
Broken tooth
Rinse gently with water, avoid chewing on the affected side and keep any tooth fragments if they are easy to find.
Lost crown or filling
Keep the restoration if you have it. Avoid forcing it back into place and avoid hard or sticky food on that side.
Swelling or tooth pain
Call to discuss the symptoms. If swelling begins affecting breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care immediately.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CALL
A faster path from symptoms to a clear next step.
Calling first gives the practice context before you arrive and helps separate dental emergencies from situations that need emergency medical care.
Describe the symptoms
Explain when the problem started, where it hurts, swelling, bleeding, temperature sensitivity and whether an injury happened.
Discuss urgency and availability
The team can explain the appropriate next step and arrange emergency dental care when needed.
Examination & imaging
Your dentist may need an examination and appropriate X-rays or other imaging to identify the cause.
Stabilize & plan
Some problems can be addressed during the urgent visit; others need staged treatment after the immediate concern is controlled.
