What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention from a dental professional. These emergencies can include:

• Severe toothache or tooth pain
• Broken or chipped tooth
• Knocked-out tooth
• Loose or missing filling or crown
• Soft tissue injuries, such as cuts or lacerations to the gums or cheeks

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's vital to seek emergency dental care as soon as possible. Delaying treatment can lead to further damage or complications, and in some cases, it can even result in tooth loss.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

If you're experiencing a dental emergency, the first thing you should do is contact Solterra Dentistry at (602) 788-0730. Our experienced dental team will provide instructions on managing your symptoms and schedule an emergency appointment as soon as possible.

In the meantime, there are several things you can do to manage your symptoms and minimize your discomfort:

• For severe toothache or tooth pain, rinse your mouth with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed.
• For a broken or chipped tooth, rinse your mouth with warm salt water and apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling.
• If possible, try to reinsert the tooth into the socket for a knocked-out tooth. If you can't reinsert the tooth, place it in a milk or saliva container and bring it to your emergency appointment.
• For a loose or missing filling or crown, try to place the filling or crown back in place using dental cement or toothpaste. Avoid chewing on the affected tooth until you can see your dentist.
