A dental emergency is any urgent problem involving your teeth, gums, or mouth that requires prompt professional attention.
At Premier Dental Care, common reasons patients contact us for emergency dental treatment include severe toothaches, cracked or fractured teeth, painful or damaged crowns, lost fillings, oral injuries, and symptoms of infection such as gum swelling, tenderness, or persistent discomfort.
Some emergencies require immediate treatment to protect your teeth and surrounding tissues. Others can be evaluated during a regularly scheduled visit.
Our goal is to help you understand the urgency of your condition and receive appropriate care.
Book these as soon as you can. If the pain or swelling gets worse, treat it as an emergency and call.
Swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck. You have trouble breathing or swallowing. You have a fever along with facial swelling. You may have a broken jaw or a head injury. Bleeding is heavy and does not slow with pressure. These can become life-threatening. A hospital is the right place for them.
The steps you take immediately after a dental injury can make an important difference in protecting your smile.
If you experience a knocked-out permanent tooth, seek dental treatment immediately. The chances of saving the tooth are generally better when treatment begins within the first hour.
For broken teeth, lost crowns, unexpected swelling, or persistent bleeding, follow the appropriate first-aid guidance below while arranging professional care.
Avoid attempting complicated dental repairs at home, and contact our office for guidance.
Nervous about the visit? Ask about sedation dentistry when you call.
Call right away for a knocked-out or loosened adult tooth, or a broken tooth with pain or bleeding. Swelling in the gum or face, severe pain, and bleeding that will not stop also count. A small painless chip or a lost filling without pain can usually wait for a regular appointment.
Premier Dental Care works to accommodate patients experiencing urgent dental problems as quickly as possible.
Same-day emergency appointments may be available depending on the severity of your condition and our schedule.
Our office is open Monday through Friday, with appointments beginning as early as 7:00 AM on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Call (208) 466-6161 to explain your symptoms and ask about the soonest available appointment.
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. Rinse it briefly if it is dirty, then try to set it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If it will not go in, keep it in milk. Call us and get to a dentist within an hour.
Call 911 or go to the ER for trouble breathing or swallowing, or swelling spreading to your eye or neck. The same goes for a possible broken jaw or heavy bleeding that will not slow down. For tooth pain, broken teeth, and knocked-out teeth, call an emergency dentist. Most ERs can manage pain and infection but cannot repair teeth.
When you visit Premier Dental Care for a dental emergency, our first priority is to identify the cause of your discomfort and help determine the most appropriate treatment.
Your dentist will examine the affected area, review your symptoms, and may recommend dental X-rays or additional diagnostic testing.
Depending on the findings, treatment may involve repairing a fractured tooth, restoring a damaged crown or filling, addressing an infection, or recommending root canal therapy or another procedure.
Some dental emergencies can be managed during the initial appointment, while others require additional treatment or follow-up visits.
We explain our findings in plain language, discuss your options, and help you understand what comes next.
Our goal is to make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and confident about your care.
Prompt dental treatment can help relieve discomfort, prevent certain problems from worsening, and improve the chances of preserving a damaged natural tooth.
A small fracture, lost filling, or persistent toothache may seem manageable at first, but delaying care can sometimes lead to more extensive treatment.
Dental infections also require timely evaluation because they can spread or cause additional complications if left untreated.
Addressing problems early may help reduce the need for more complicated procedures later.
At Premier Dental Care, our focus is on treating the underlying problem and helping you maintain a healthy smile for years to come.
