What are emergency dental services?

Emergency dental services are similar to the emergency room at a hospital. Some dental clinics or walk-in offices provide emergency dental services so patients can receive immediate care if they have any severe tooth concerns.

Many dental clinics that provide emergency services have extended operating hours that allow you to come in for treatment during late night hours, weekends, and holidays. This is especially helpful if you’re traveling in a new area or your regular dental clinic is closed.

Emergency dental services might involve stopping the bleeding in your mouth, repairing a broken or chipped tooth, fixing your filling or crown before you can see your regular dentist, and treating broken bones in the jaw or mouth area.

How to prevent a dental emergency?

Practicing good oral hygiene is a great and easy way to reduce the risk of tooth infections and decay. By brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing regularly, you prevent food, debris, and plaque buildup in your mouth.

Being careful with your dentures, crowns, and fillings is also important to prevent them from breaking or falling out. You should always rinse your dentures before putting them back into your mouth and at night to prevent the buildup of bacteria that could cause tooth infections.

Seeing your dentist for regular checkups is also a great way to prevent a dental emergency. Your dentist will professionally clean your teeth and tell you how to better take care of them.

What do I do if my mouth won’t stop bleeding?

Rinse your mouth with a mild saltwater solution and use a damp gauze to put pressure to the bleeding area. Hold a cold compress to the side of your face to reduce swelling and pain. Go see your dentist or nearest emergency dental clinic immediately.
