Dental Emergencies and Urgent Care: When to Act Fast?

Dental emergencies can happen at any time—a fall, sudden pain, unexpected swelling... In these moments, knowing when to seek immediate dental care can make all the difference between saving a tooth or facing a more complicated procedure.

At Dental Artistry, we’re ready to provide urgent care when you need it most—with a skilled, compassionate team by your side.

🚨 What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

Not every ache is urgent, but you should seek immediate care if you have:

• Severe or persistent tooth pain

• Broken or fractured tooth

• Knocked-out tooth (avulsion)

• Swelling in the gums or face

• Uncontrolled bleeding

• Infection with fever or general discomfort

• Mouth or jaw trauma

🕐 Why Is Acting Quickly So Important?

• You may be able to save a natural tooth if treated in time

• Prevent a small infection from becoming serious

• Get quick pain relief and peace of mind

• Avoid more invasive or costly treatments

🛠️ What to Do Before You Get to the Dentist

• Rinse with warm water

• Apply a cold compress if there’s swelling

• Store any tooth fragment in milk or saline

• Don’t place painkillers directly on the gum

• Call the clinic for instructions
