Dental emergencies can happen at any time of the day and are often unanticipated. This can include severe toothache, trauma, or accidents that can cause cracked or broken teeth. It is often necessary to address the problem promptly to relieve pain, check the bleeding, or prevent further damage.
At Pharr Road Dentistry, we quickly arrange emergency appointments so we can treat your concerns at the earliest. We recognize that dental emergencies can be both painful and stressful, and hence strive to help you with gentle and affordable solutions.
We know that dental emergencies can be pretty stressful, and we aim to educate you on some valuable tips to manage your situation before availing of professional help. It is critical how you react in the minutes following a dental emergency. Here are some regular dental emergencies that we see and what you should do in these situations:
A toothache may not seem like a dental emergency. Pain connected to a toothache can be quite extreme. It is vital to clean out the area that is causing the distress. By using a combination of brushing, rinsing, and flossing techniques, remove any stuck debris from around your teeth and gums to get temporary relief. Then contact your general dentist immediately.

If you have a cracked or chipped tooth, try to gather as many fragments of the broken tooth as possible. Be careful not to lose any pieces. Then rinse your mouth thoroughly. Store the pieces in a cup of warm water and seek professional help immediately.
It may be possible to salvage a knocked-out tooth if you can keep it in good condition and reach a dental office within an hour. It will help if you gargle your mouth with warm water. If possible, try to insert the tooth back into your mouth in the right direction and hold it firmly until you reach our office. If you cannot place the tooth back in the socket, then keep the tooth in a cup of warm water or milk with salt in it to preserve it. You can also use an ice compress to reduce facial swelling.
An abscessed tooth is an indication of a severe infection in your mouth. If you have severe swelling of your cheek or gums, it is essential to contact your dental provider immediately or seek treatment at the local emergency room. A medical professional can administer injections or prescribe antibiotics to cure the infection.
