Understanding Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies can occur at any time and often when least expected. Recognizing what constitutes a dental emergency can help you take swift action and potentially save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe Toothache: Pain that persists or worsens, especially if accompanied by swelling or fever.
• Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth: Accidents can happen, and immediate care can prevent infection and further damage.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: Time is of the essence; prompt treatment can often save the tooth.
• Lost Filling or Crown: Leaving a tooth unprotected can lead to discomfort and further damage.
• Abscess: A serious infection that can cause severe pain, swelling, and can be life-threatening if not treated immediately.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

If you or a loved one is experiencing a dental emergency, take immediate action by following these steps:

1. Rinse with Warm Water: If applicable, gently rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area.
2. Preserve a Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep a knocked-out tooth moist at all times, preferably in milk or saliva.
3. Apply Cold Compresses: Reduce swelling and relieve pain by applying a cold compress to the face.

When to Contact the Emergency Room

While City of Angels Dentistry is equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies, certain situations require immediate medical attention at an emergency room. If you experience any of the following or if in doubt, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately:

• Uncontrollable Bleeding: Persistent bleeding that cannot be managed with gentle pressure.
• Severe Swelling: Especially if it affects breathing or swallowing.
• Trauma to the Face or Jaw: Significant injuries that extend beyond the teeth.
• Signs of Infection: Such as a high fever, swelling, or red streaks around the affected area, indicating a potentially life-threatening condition.

Your safety is our utmost priority. For dental injuries and issues without the above complications, City of Angels Dentistry and Dr. Kevin Chin are here to provide swift, compassionate care. For all other emergencies, please seek immediate medical attention.
