Some of the most common dental emergencies
- Dental abscess
When a cavity or teeth injury is ignored the infection can spread in the mouth to surrounding teeth and gum tissue, and even the rest of the body and can cause serious pain and complications.
In this case, you should call your dentist as soon as possible and rinse your mouth with a mild water solution and apply ice to the swollen area for temporary relief.
- Wisdom tooth pain
Sometimes wisdom teeth cause pain if they are not able to completely enter the mouth and break through the gums. Then you may experience pain due to infection or cavity.
- Chipped or broken teeth
A cracked or chipped tooth is a common dental accident that can happen when eating something hard or damaged from sports. See your dentist as soon as possible to prevent further damage or infection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any oral health problem that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, prevent infection, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, dental abscesses, swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, and injuries to the mouth or gums.
What should I do if I have a severe toothache?
Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss around the affected tooth to remove any trapped food. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, as it may cause irritation. If the pain is severe or accompanied by swelling or fever, contact your dentist immediately for an emergency evaluation.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost?
The cost of emergency dental treatment depends on the type of dental problem and the treatment required. Some emergencies may only require an examination and X-rays, while others may involve fillings, root canal therapy, tooth extraction, or other procedures. Your dentist will explain your treatment options and provide a cost estimate after evaluating your condition.
What should I do if I chip or break a tooth?
If you chip or break a tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and save any broken pieces if possible. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and contact your dentist as soon as possible. Early treatment can help prevent further damage, relieve discomfort, and restore the appearance and function of your tooth.
Can a dental infection spread if left untreated?
Yes. A dental infection can spread from the affected tooth to the surrounding gums, jawbone, and, in rare cases, other areas of the body. Seeking prompt dental care helps prevent serious complications and protects your overall health.
