What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any condition that requires immediate care. Dental emergencies, injuries, or accidents can occur at any time, and often without warning. Here are common emergencies that we treat at our Crystal Lake office:

Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
Broken tooth roots
Knocked-out or loosened teeth
Severe or throbbing toothache

Excessive bleeding in the gums around your teeth
Swelling and pain in your face or jaw (due to infection)
Cuts on the lips, gums, tongue, or cheeks

Sometimes dental emergencies aren’t painful. There may not be obvious symptoms, such as bleeding, swelling, or pain; however, you should seek immediate attention for:

Missing, cracked, or loose fillings
Missing, broken, or loose crowns and bridges

A cracked or broken denture
An issue with a dental implant

How Soon Should I See the Dentist?

Never wait to seek help. Urgent attention and care from a trained dental professional can be the difference between saving a tooth or losing it. Tooth loss can impact your oral health for years to come. Prompt treatment can also relieve your pain and prevent further damage.

How Can I Prevent a Dental Emergency?

While no one can plan for a dental emergency or accident, there are some simple ways to avoid unexpected trips to the dentist. Here is what you can do to prevent most common dental emergencies:

Practice good at-home dental hygiene, with daily brushing and flossing
Attend regularly scheduled checkups and cleanings
Always wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth when playing contact sports
Avoid chewing on ice, popcorn kernels, hard candies, and other foods that can damage your teeth
Never chew on pens or pencils
Use scissors to open packages! Never use your teeth!
