What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is a situation that requires urgent care to relieve pain, save a tooth, treat an infection, or stop bleeding. The following are the most common dental emergencies:

Persistent, intense toothache
A loose, dislodged, or completely knocked-out tooth
A chipped, broken, or cracked tooth
A tooth infection or abscess
Swelling of the mouth or facial area
Injury to the lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums
A lost or damaged crown or filling

What Should You Do If You Experience a Dental Emergency?

If you or a loved one experiences a dental emergency, contact our Fort Worth practice at 817-625-0341 for immediate care. We offer same-day emergency appointments to provide you with urgent care when you need it the most. If your emergency occurs after office hours or on the weekend, please call our office for guidance.

Remember—a dental emergency may not seem as serious as it is, so it is important to seek immediate care. If, however, you or a loved one have severe facial swelling or bleeding or experience a life-threatening emergency, dial 911 for immediate care.

What Can You Expect During Your Emergency Appointment?

When you arrive at our office, we will start by managing your pain or discomfort. After ensuring you are comfortable, we will perform a thorough exam and may take X-Rays to diagnose your concerns and determine the best course of treatment. We always recommend the most conservative options to save a damaged tooth and restore your smile's health and function.

In many cases, the initial emergency visit aims to stabilize the situation. You may require additional appointments to restore your healthy smile. At North Trinity Dental, we strive to ensure you receive the best possible care in a comfortable and stress-free environment. Our topmost priority is to relieve your pain and ensure the best possible outcomes for your smile.

How Can You Reduce Your Risk of Dental Emergencies?

Here are some ways you can help prevent dental emergencies:

Maintain good oral hygiene care, including regular brushing and flossing.
Visit North Trinity Dental for routine dental exams and cleanings.
Use a protective nightguard or sports mouthguard if you grind your teeth in your sleep or are involved in high-impact sports.
Be cautious with hard foods or candies that can crack or chip your teeth.
Avoid using your teeth to open bottles or for other tasks that are best suited for tools.
