What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency refers to any dental issue that requires immediate attention to alleviate severe pain, prevent infection, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe Toothaches: Persistent or intense pain can indicate a serious underlying issue such as an
infection, abscess, or decay. - Knocked-Out Teeth: Losing a tooth due to injury or trauma requires immediate care to increase the chances of saving the tooth.
- Broken or Cracked Teeth: Teeth that are broken, chipped, or cracked can cause pain and lead toinfection if not treated quickly.
- Loose or Dislodged Fillings/Crowns: Lost or damaged dental restorations can leave your teeth vulnerable to further damage and sensitivity.
- Gum or Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts, tears, or punctures to the gums, cheeks, or tongue should be
addressed immediately to prevent infection and excessive bleeding. - Abscesses: A painful, swollen infection at the root of a tooth or in the gum needs immediate attention, as it can spread to other parts of the body if untreated.
If you are experiencing any of these issues, it’s essential to seek treatment from an emergency dentist as soon as possible.
Emergency Dental Services We Provide
At Metro City Dentistry, we provide a range of emergency dental treatments to resolve urgent issues
and restore your oral health. Our services include:
1. Toothache Relief
Toothaches can be caused by cavities, infections, or trauma. Our emergency dental team will diagnose
the underlying cause and provide immediate pain relief, whether through medication, fillings, or root
canal therapy.
2. Broken or Knocked-Out Teeth
If a tooth is broken or knocked out due to an injury, time is critical. We will attempt to save the tooth if
possible and provide restorative treatments such as dental bonding, crowns, or implants to restore the
tooth’s appearance and function.
3. Emergency Extractions
In cases where a tooth is severely damaged or infected and cannot be saved, we perform emergency
extractions to prevent further complications. We’ll also provide follow-up care and discuss options for
tooth replacement.
4. Repairing Lost Fillings or Crowns
Losing a filling or crown can cause sensitivity and leave your tooth vulnerable to decay. We can quickly replace lost restorations and provide a long-term solution to protect your tooth.
5. Gum and Soft Tissue Treatment
Injuries to the gums, lips, or tongue can cause significant discomfort and bleeding. We provide care for
soft tissue injuries, including cleaning and suturing if necessary, to promote healing and prevent
infection.
6. Abscess Treatment
Dental abscesses are serious infections that can lead to swelling, pain, and fever. We will drain the
abscess and treat the infection to protect your health and prevent the infection from spreading.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What should I do if I have a knocked-out tooth?
If you have a knocked-out tooth, it’s important to act quickly. Carefully pick up the tooth by the crown
(not the root), rinse it with water, and try to place it back into the socket. If this isn’t possible, keep the
tooth in a container of milk or saliva and visit our clinic immediately. The sooner you receive treatment,
the better the chances of saving the tooth.
2. How do I know if my dental problem is an emergency?
If you’re experiencing severe pain, bleeding, or trauma to your teeth or gums, it’s likely a dental
emergency. Issues such as abscesses, knocked-out teeth, or broken teeth should be treated right away.
If you’re unsure, it’s always best to contact our office, and we can advise you on the best course of
action.
3. What can I do to relieve a toothache until I see the dentist?
While waiting to see the dentist, you can try to relieve a toothache by rinsing your mouth with warm
saltwater, applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek, and taking over-the-counter pain
relievers. Avoid putting aspirin directly on the tooth, as this can cause tissue damage.
4. Are emergency dental visits covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover emergency treatments, but coverage can vary depending on your
specific plan. Our team can assist you with understanding your insurance benefits and any out-of-pocket
costs.
5. Do you offer after-hours emergency care?
While we strive to provide prompt care during our regular office hours, we also offer after-hours emergency services for existing patients in urgent situations. If you experience an emergency outside of our clinic hours, please call our office, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
