Why People Love Timber Springs Dental
Where Urgency Meets Compassion
Navigating Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies encompass a spectrum of situations, from the dramatic to the distressing. Perhaps you're experiencing the aftermath of a tooth being knocked out during a Little League game, or maybe you've encountered the inconvenience of losing a filling or breaking a denture.
Losing a filling ranks among these scenarios While some emergencies cause immediate pain, others instigate anxiety. Among these scenarios, losing a filling is one of the most common dental emergencies.
Restoring Crowns and Caps
Another common occurrence is when a crown or cap unexpectedly detaches from a tooth. If you manage to retain the dislodged piece, bring it with you to our office. In many cases, reattaching the crown or cap involves a straightforward process of cleaning the tooth and restoration before securely cementing it back in place.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency refers to any sudden, unexpected dental issue that requires immediate attention to alleviate pain, prevent further damage, or address a situation that can impact your oral health.
What are common dental emergencies?
Common dental emergencies include a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, broken or cracked teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, and injuries to the mouth or jaw.
What should I do in case of a knocked-out tooth?
If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (top) and avoid touching the root. Rinse it gently with water if it's dirty, then try to reinsert it into the socket. If this is not possible, place the tooth in milk or a tooth preservation kit and seek dental care immediately.
How do I handle a broken or cracked tooth?
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Collect any broken pieces if possible. Seek emergency dental care to assess the extent of the damage and determine the appropriate treatment.
What should I do for a severe toothache?
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean it, and use dental floss to remove any debris gently. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums. If the pain persists, contact your dentist for an emergency appointment.
What if I lose a filling or crown?
Retrieve the filling or crown, if possible, and clean it gently. Apply dental cement, available at most drugstores, to the exposed tooth to temporarily protect it. Schedule an emergency dental appointment to have the filling or crown reattached or replaced.
Are dental emergencies always painful?
Not all dental emergencies cause immediate pain. For instance, a lost filling may not result in immediate discomfort, but it should still be addressed promptly to prevent further issues.
Can a toothache wait until my regular dentist appointment?
If you're experiencing severe pain, swelling, or any signs of infection, it's best not to wait for your regular appointment. Dental infections can spread quickly and have serious consequences. Seek emergency dental care as soon as possible.
How do I prevent dental emergencies?
While some emergencies are unavoidable, maintaining good oral hygiene, wearing protective gear during sports, and avoiding biting on hard objects can help reduce the risk of dental emergencies.
How quickly should I seek emergency dental care?
For most dental emergencies, it's advisable to seek care as soon as possible. Timely intervention can prevent further damage and discomfort, ensuring a better outcome.
