A dental emergency is any issue involving the teeth, gums, or mouth that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, treat infection, or save a tooth. Common examples include severe toothaches, knocked-out or broken teeth, dental abscesses, and injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth.
In most cases, dental emergencies are best treated by a dentist. If you’re dealing with a broken tooth, lost filling, or oral pain, call Alpine Creek Dental first. However, if you experience severe facial trauma, heavy bleeding that won’t stop, or signs of a life-threatening infection (like difficulty breathing or swelling that affects your airway), seek immediate care at the emergency room or by calling 911.
While not all emergencies can be avoided, many can be prevented with regular checkups, good oral hygiene, and protective habits with general dentistry. Brush and floss daily, see your dentist every six months, and wear a mouthguard if you play contact sports. Preventive care is one of the best ways to keep your smile safe.
