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!
