A dental emergency is any problem that needs prompt treatment to stop pain, control infection, or save a tooth. Severe or persistent toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, facial or gum swelling, bleeding that will not stop, and a lost filling or crown that leaves a tooth sharp and sensitive all qualify. Swelling with fever or trouble swallowing needs immediate care.
For most tooth problems a dentist is the right choice, because a hospital emergency room can usually only provide pain medication and antibiotics rather than treat the tooth itself. Go to an emergency room or call emergency services for facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, then follow up with a dentist for the underlying problem.
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and rinse it gently with milk or water without scrubbing. If possible, place it back in the socket and hold it there, and otherwise keep it in milk or saliva. Get to a dentist as quickly as possible, because the chance of saving a knocked-out tooth drops sharply within the first hour.
Rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove anything trapped between the teeth, and apply a cold compress to the outside of the cheek for swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help if they are safe for you. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum, and avoid very hot, cold, or sugary foods until you are seen.
