Emergency dentistry focuses on evaluating and treating urgent dental problems that may cause significant pain, damage, or infection. Common reasons patients contact Edgewater Dental for emergency care include severe or persistent toothaches, cracked or broken teeth, displaced fillings, lost crowns, dental injuries, and symptoms of infection such as gum swelling or an unpleasant taste in the mouth. Some symptoms require immediate attention, while others can safely wait for a regular appointment. If you’re unsure, call our team so we can help you determine the appropriate next step.
Book these as soon as you can. If the pain or swelling gets worse, treat it as an emergency and call.
Swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck. You have trouble breathing or swallowing. You have a fever along with facial swelling. You may have a broken jaw or a head injury. Bleeding is heavy and does not slow with pressure. These can become life-threatening. A hospital is the right place for them.
These simple steps can help protect your tooth and make the situation easier to manage while you are getting to the office.
Nervous about the visit? Ask about sedation dentistry when you call.
Call right away for a knocked-out or loosened adult tooth, or a broken tooth with pain or bleeding. Swelling in the gum or face, severe pain, and bleeding that will not stop also count. A small painless chip or a lost filling without pain can usually wait for a regular appointment.
Edgewater Dental works to accommodate patients experiencing dental emergencies as quickly as possible.
Same-day appointments may be available depending on the severity of your condition and our schedule.
Call (208) 463-9600 to speak with our team about your symptoms and the soonest available appointment.
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. Rinse it briefly if it is dirty, then try to set it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If it will not go in, keep it in milk. Call us and get to a dentist within an hour.
Call 911 or go to the ER for trouble breathing or swallowing, or swelling spreading to your eye or neck. The same goes for a possible broken jaw or heavy bleeding that will not slow down. For tooth pain, broken teeth, and knocked-out teeth, call an emergency dentist. Most ERs can manage pain and infection but cannot repair teeth.
When you visit Edgewater Dental for a dental emergency, our first priority is to identify the source of your discomfort and determine how best to address it.
Your dentist will evaluate the affected area and may recommend dental X-rays or other diagnostic steps to better understand the problem.
Depending on your condition, emergency treatment may involve relieving discomfort, addressing an infection, repairing a damaged tooth, or protecting the affected area with a temporary or permanent restoration.
Some situations can be treated during your emergency visit, while others may require additional appointments.
Our goal is to help stabilize the problem, preserve your oral health whenever possible, and explain your treatment options so you can make an informed decision.
Addressing a dental emergency promptly can help protect your natural teeth and reduce the risk of more serious complications.
A small crack, damaged filling, or persistent toothache may seem manageable at first, but delaying care can sometimes lead to more extensive dental treatment.
Early treatment may help prevent further damage, reduce the risk of infection worsening, and improve the chances of preserving an affected tooth.
Getting the Right Care at the Right Place
For many urgent tooth problems, a dental office is equipped to diagnose the cause and provide treatment that a hospital emergency department may not offer.
However, serious symptoms such as difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial swelling, fever accompanied by facial swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding require immediate medical attention.
At Edgewater Dental, we’re committed to helping you receive appropriate care while protecting your long-term oral health.
