What is considered a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include situations like:
- Severe tooth pain
- Knocked-out tooth
- Chipped or broken tooth
- Lost filling or crown
- Abscess or infections
- Soft tissue injury (gums, cheeks, lips)
If you experience any of these issues, please contact our office right away. Quick treatment can often save a tooth and prevent further complications, preserving your overall oral health.
Should I visit the ER or an emergency dentist?
In most cases, it’s best to visit an emergency dentist for dental-related problems, as they are equipped to handle serious tooth and gum issues more effectively than an ER. However, if you have severe facial trauma, a broken jaw, or an infection causing difficulty breathing or swallowing, head to the ER immediately. For dental emergencies like a toothache, broken teeth, or abscesses, get in touch with our West Chester emergency dental team as soon as possible, as we specialize in providing fast, effective care for these situations.
What should I do if my tooth pain becomes unbearable
If your tooth pain becomes unbearable, contact our practice right away for an evaluation. In the meantime, you can manage the pain by rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater, taking over-the-counter pain relievers, and applying a cold compress to the affected area. Avoid eating or drinking anything too hot, cold, or sugary, as this may worsen the pain. Quick action is essential to diagnose the cause and prevent further complications like infection or tooth damage.
