What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?
You may need urgent dental care if you experience:
- Severe toothache that won’t go away
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Knocked-out tooth (dental avulsion)
- Dental abscess or infection
- Swollen, bleeding gums
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Pain from wisdom teeth
- Jaw pain or TMD issues
If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us immediately for advice.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Knocked-Out Tooth
- Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root).
- Rinse gently with milk or saline (do not scrub).
- Try to place the tooth back into the socket or store it in milk or saliva.
- Call us immediately – the sooner it’s reinserted, the higher the chance of saving it!
Severe Toothache
- Rinse with warm saltwater.
- Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Take over-the-counter pain relief (avoid aspirin if bleeding).
- Book an urgent dental visit to determine the cause.
Abscess or Swelling
A dental abscess is a serious infection that can spread. If you have severe swelling, pain, or fever, seek immediate dental care to prevent complications.

Our Emergency Dental Services
At Bigger Smiles, we provide same-day treatment for all dental emergencies, including:
Cracked Teeth
A cracked tooth can cause severe pain and sensitivity. Our emergency dentists offer immediate pain relief and restorative solutions such as fillings, crowns, or veneers.
Root Canal Therapy
If you have an infected tooth or deep decay, a root canal treatment can save your tooth and relieve pain. Our gentle, pain-free root canals prevent further infection and restore function.
Dental Extractions
Sometimes, a tooth cannot be saved and must be extracted to relieve pain and prevent infection. We offer gentle, expert tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth removal.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Impacted or infected wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and misalignment. We provide safe, comfortable extractions, including IV sedation for anxious patients.
Teeth Grinding & TMD Management
If you experience jaw pain, headaches, or tooth wear, bruxism (teeth grinding) may be the cause. We offer custom night guards and TMD treatments to protect your teeth and jaw.
