Dental emergencies: when it’s truly urgent

A dental emergency isn’t just “discomfort.” It can be a sign of infection or internal damage. At Top Dental, we treat urgent cases like severe tooth pain, dental abscess, swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, a fractured tooth, a loose tooth, or injuries from accidents. The sooner you’re evaluated, the more options you may have to prevent complications.

What matters most: relieve pain and protect your smile

Dental emergencies can be stressful—so we keep it simple and clear. We’ll identify what’s causing the pain, explain your options in plain English, and create a realistic plan to get you comfortable again. If treatment is needed right away, we’ll review insurance and payment options before moving forward.

Dental emergency FAQ

Straight answers to help you act fast if you have tooth pain or need an emergency dentist.
  • What counts as a dental emergency?
    A dental emergency may include severe toothache, swelling, signs of infection (like an abscess), bleeding that won’t stop, a broken or cracked tooth, a loose tooth after an injury, or a knocked-out permanent tooth. If you’re unsure, call—our team can help you decide what to do next.
  • What should I do if a permanent tooth gets knocked out?
    Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root). If it’s dirty, rinse it gently—don’t scrub it. Place it in milk or saline and come to Top Dental right away. Timing matters for saving the tooth.
  • Can I relieve tooth pain at home while I’m on my way?
    You can rinse with warm salt water, use a cold compress on the outside for swelling, and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the label. This is temporary—pain often means something needs professional care.
  • What if I think I have a dental abscess?
    A dental abscess is an infection that should be evaluated promptly. Don’t try to pop it. Rinse gently with warm salt water and schedule an emergency visit so we can treat the cause safely.
  • Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments?
    Yes—when possible, we offer same-day emergency dental care. Availability depends on the day and your situation, but if you contact us, we’ll do our best to get you seen quickly.
  • How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
    Costs depend on what we find during your evaluation (for example: infection, fracture, or deep decay). We’ll explain your options and costs before treatment, and we can review insurance and payment options.
