What Is Emergency Dentistry?

Emergency dentistry focuses on treating urgent dental problems that require immediate attention. These can include severe tooth pain, dental trauma, infections, and other conditions that can’t wait for a routine appointment. Getting timely care can make all the difference in saving a tooth, preventing complications, and easing your discomfort.

Benefits of Seeking Immediate Dental Care

Prompt emergency treatment can make all the difference in protecting your smile — and your health. Here’s why acting fast matters:

Protect Your Overall Health

Untreated dental infections can lead to serious health complications — early care safeguards your well-being.

Prevent Further Damage

Timely care can often save teeth and prevent the need for more extensive procedures later.

Pain Relief

Address discomfort right away with effective, targeted treatment.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

We’re here to help you navigate any dental emergency with fast, personalized care. Some of the most common issues we treat include:

An abscess is a serious infection that can spread if left untreated. Immediate care is essential to manage pain and prevent complications.

When a filling or crown falls out, it leaves the tooth vulnerable. We’ll work to quickly restore your tooth and prevent additional damage.

If a tooth is knocked out, time is critical. Quick action can sometimes save the tooth and allow it to be successfully reimplanted.

Whether from an accident or biting down on something hard, damaged teeth need immediate attention to prevent further fractures or infection.

Intense, persistent tooth pain can signal an infection or other serious dental problem. Early treatment can relieve discomfort and protect your overall health.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

1

Call Us Right Away

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, contact Wynkoop Dentistry immediately. Our team will guide you on next steps and get you seen as soon as possible.

2

Manage Pain and Swelling

Apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth to reduce swelling and take over-the-counter pain relievers if needed — but avoid aspirin if there’s bleeding.

3

Handle Teeth Carefully

If a tooth has been knocked out, hold it by the crown (top), not the root. Keep it moist in milk or saliva and bring it with you to your appointment.

4

Avoid Certain Actions

Don’t ignore severe symptoms, and avoid eating hard foods, applying heat, or trying to “fix” a damaged tooth yourself. Getting prompt professional care is key to the best outcome.

FAQs

Many dental insurance plans cover emergency treatments. Our team can help you understand your benefits and maximize your coverage.

Hospitals can help with infections and pain management, but they typically don’t have dentists on staff. It’s best to contact a dentist directly for tooth-related emergencies whenever possible.

If possible, gently rinse the tooth (without scrubbing it) and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva and seek immediate dental care.

The entire staff here is so caring and welcoming. They have always accommodated my general fear of dental work and always take the time to talk about how I am doing, not just how my teeth are doing. Both my husband and I go to Wynkoop Dentistry and I would recommend them to anyone.

Everyone was friendly and professional. They make sure to explain everything clearly and check in with you in terms of what everything will cost before doing anything so that there are no surprises. I had a cavity filled and it was pain-free. Glad a friend recommended them to me.

Staff has been great to work with. I’ve had several issues and they always fit me in and are very reasonable with cost of work. They work with my insurance to ensure I receive maximum benefit and stand behind their work. Couldn’t be more pleased!
