Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency typically includes situations like severe toothache, chipped or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, partially dislodged teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, and significant bleeding or trauma to the mouth. If you're experiencing any of these issues, it's important to seek immediate dental care.
What should I do if I have a knocked-out tooth?
If you have a knocked-out tooth, handle it by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently without scrubbing. If possible, try to place the tooth back in its socket. If that's not feasible, keep it moist in milk or saliva and bring it with you to our office immediately. Time is crucial in these situations, as the chances of successfully re-implanting the tooth decrease significantly after an hour.
How do I handle a broken or chipped tooth?
For a broken or chipped tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your face to reduce swelling. Collect any broken tooth fragments and bring them with you to our office.
What can I do for a severe toothache?
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss to remove any food caught between your teeth. Avoid putting aspirin or any other painkiller against the gums near the aching tooth, as it may burn the gum tissue. Contact us immediately for an appointment.
Should I go to the emergency room for a dental emergency?
Most emergency rooms are not equipped to handle dental emergencies. It's usually best to contact a dentist directly for issues like toothaches, lost fillings, or broken teeth. However, if you have severe trauma to your face or jaw, or uncontrollable bleeding, you should seek immediate care at an emergency room.
How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?
At Blooming Family Dental Group, we understand the urgency of dental emergencies and strive to see patients as quickly as possible. We offer prompt appointments and do our best to accommodate emergency patients with immediate care.
Can I prevent dental emergencies?
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, you can reduce your risk by maintaining good oral hygiene, wearing a mouthguard during sports, avoiding chewing hard objects (like ice or hard candy), and keeping up with regular dental checkups.
How can I manage pain before my emergency appointment?
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort before your appointment. However, it's important not to place medication directly on the gum or tooth, as this can cause irritation. A cold compress applied to the outside of your cheek can help reduce swelling and pain.
Does dental insurance cover emergency procedures?
Many dental insurance plans offer some level of coverage for emergency procedures. Our office staff can help you understand your benefits and file insurance claims. We also offer various payment and financing options to make emergency dental care more affordable.
