What Is a Dental Emergency?

Any dental problem that requires immediate treatment to save a tooth, stop ongoing tissue bleeding, or alleviate severe dental pain is considered a dental emergency. If you have a dental emergency, our Denver emergency dentist should be the first person you need to call. It is important to remember that with some dental emergencies, visiting the dentist within 30 minutes or less can mean the difference between saving and losing your tooth.

Unexpected injuries or dental problems can occur at any time, day or night. Some injuries may need immediate attention, while others can wait until your dentist's normal business hours. Common mouth injuries often involve teeth that are chipped, broken, or completely pushed out. Any of these could result from biting down on something that is too hard, a sports-related injury, a fall, or any other type of accident.

Cracked, Broken, or Loose Tooth

If a tooth is loose or out of alignment, contact our emergency dentist in Denver immediately so that it can be addressed as quickly as possible.

If you chip a tooth and it does not hurt, this usually does not constitute an emergency. However, schedule an appointment within a few days, and take care not to damage the tooth further.

A cracked or fractured tooth can be considered a dental emergency, or at the very least, a priority, and the dentist should be seen as soon as possible. Fractured or cracked teeth usually indicate that there is damage on the inside of the tooth as well as the outside.

Mouth Injury

Any kind of injury inside the mouth, such as puncture wounds, lacerations, or tears to the tongue, lips, cheeks, or mouth, is a tissue injury and is generally considered a dental emergency. If you experience this type of injury, gently clean the inside of the mouth with water. If the bleeding is coming from the tongue, gently pull it forward and place pressure on the wound using a square piece of gauze, and get to an oral surgeon, dentist, or hospital emergency room as soon as possible.

To help with pain, take acetaminophen. Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen. These are anticoagulants and can cause excessive bleeding.

When to Call an Emergency Dentist

Dental emergencies can happen to anyone. Don't take risks or live in agony; call us anyway. If you need an emergency dentist in Denver, contact Primary Dental, and we'll get you fixed and feeling better in no time!
Remember, many dental emergencies can be easily avoided by having routine dental check-ups to ensure that your mouth and teeth are healthy. If it's been a while since your last visit to your dentist, contact us to schedule an appointment.
