Urgent Dental Care When You Need It Most
Dental pain and trauma can strike without warning, leaving you stressed, in pain, and unsure of what to do. At Veda Family Dentistry, we want you to know that we are here for you when you need us. Our expert team offers priority scheduling for dental emergencies to provide fast pain relief, diagnose the issue, and deliver the compassionate, expert care you can trust to protect your oral health.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
A dental emergency is any oral health issue that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. If you're unsure whether your situation is an emergency, it's best to call us for guidance. We commonly treat:
Severe Toothaches & Swelling: This often indicates a serious infection or abscess that requires immediate treatment to prevent it from spreading. First Aid: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.
Knocked-Out Tooth: A time-sensitive emergency where immediate action can save the tooth. First Aid: Handle the tooth by the crown (top), rinse it gently, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If you can't, store it in milk and call us immediately.
Chipped or Cracked Tooth: A significant break can damage the tooth's nerve and lead to infection. First Aid: Rinse your mouth, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and save any broken fragments for medical attention.
Lost Crown or Filling: This leaves the sensitive inner tooth structure exposed and vulnerable to damage or decay.
Abscessed Gums: A pimple-like swelling on the gums is a sign of a severe infection that requires immediate treatment.
What to Do During a Dental Emergency
Knowing what to do in the first few moments can make a significant difference.
Call Us Immediately: The most crucial step is to contact our office. We can provide specific first-aid advice over the phone and prepare for your arrival.
Manage Pain & Swelling: For most dental traumas, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen, can help manage discomfort.
Handle a Knocked-Out Tooth with Care: Time is of the essence. Retrieve the tooth by the crown only, avoiding contact with the root, and follow the storage instructions mentioned above. The sooner you arrive at our office (ideally within an hour), the better the chance of successful reimplantation.
Know When to Go to the ER: For severe facial trauma, a suspected jaw fracture, or bleeding that won't stop, please go to the nearest hospital emergency room first. They can manage the immediate medical trauma, and we can then address the dental damage.
