URGENT DENTAL CARE · PATIENT GUIDE
Find the right next step for tooth pain, injury or swelling.
START HERE
Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, swelling or a broken restoration needs assessment. Contact the clinic, describe what happened and ask about the next available urgent appointment.
Go to an emergency department for serious face or jaw injuries, heavy bleeding that will not stop, or severe mouth or neck swelling that affects breathing.
FIND YOUR SITUATION
Seek urgent dental care. Handle a permanent tooth by the crown, not the root, and keep it in milk if it cannot be put back in place.
Do not put a baby tooth back in.
Contact a dentist promptly. Explain whether the pain affects sleep and whether there is swelling or fever.
Difficulty breathing or rapidly worsening severe swelling needs emergency medical attention.
Keep any tooth fragments or loose crown and bring them to your appointment. Avoid chewing on the affected side.
Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze. Heavy bleeding that does not stop or a serious facial injury needs hospital emergency care.
WHEN YOU CONTACT US
Describe the pain, damage or injury and which part of the mouth is affected.
Explain when symptoms began and whether they are getting worse.
Mention swelling, bleeding, medicines, medical conditions and any tooth fragments you have.
A pharmacist can advise on suitable pain relief. Do not place aspirin directly on a tooth or gum, and do not use sharp tools to remove objects from between teeth.
These steps do not replace a dental assessment.
Your dentist may discuss further restorative or gum treatment once the immediate problem has been assessed.
Ask what follow-up is needed and what is included in your treatment plan.
