When You Should Seek Emergency Dental Care
Sometimes it’s hard to tell if a dental issue needs immediate attention. A general rule: if you’re in pain, bleeding, or have swelling that won’t go away, it’s a good idea to get checked out as soon as possible.
Here are some common problems we treat right away:
- A knocked-out tooth
- A cracked or broken tooth
- A painful toothache that doesn’t stop
- Swollen gums or jaw
- Bleeding that won’t stop
- Lost or broken fillings and crowns
- Signs of an abscess (pus, swelling, or a bump on your gum)
If any of these happen, call us. The sooner we see you, the better the chances are of saving your tooth and stopping the pain fast.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
You don’t have to know exactly what’s wrong to call us. If something feels off, let us know. But here are a few signs that you’re dealing with an emergency:
- Tooth Pain: If you can’t eat, sleep, or think straight because of tooth pain, don’t wait.
- Injury to the Mouth: Chips, cracks, or teeth that got knocked out in a fall or accident need fast care.
- Gum or Jaw Swelling: Swelling can be a sign of infection. Left alone, it can spread and get worse quickly.
- Broken Dental Work: Crowns, fillings, or bridges that come loose can lead to more damage if not fixed fast.
If you’re not sure, just give us a call. We’ll talk through what’s happening and help you figure out the next step.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
If something happens and you think you need emergency dental care, here’s what to do:
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root). If you can, place it back in the socket. If not, put it in milk and call us immediately.
- Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water. Gently floss to check for anything stuck. Don’t put aspirin directly on your gums.
- Chipped or Cracked Tooth: Rinse with warm water. If there’s swelling, apply a cold compress. Save any pieces if they broke off.
- Swelling or Abscess: Rinse with saltwater and call us. These are signs of infection and can get worse fast.
Emergency Dental FAQs
What’s the most common dental emergency?
Toothaches. They often happen because of decay, infection, or trauma. If the pain is sharp or constant, you should be seen right away.
Do you take walk-ins for emergencies?
Yes! If you’re in pain or something feels wrong, walk in or call us at (303) 933-2522. We’ll do our best to see you the same day.
Can I prevent dental emergencies?
Good brushing, regular checkups, and wearing a mouthguard during sports can help. But accidents still happen. That’s why we’re here.
What if I lose a filling or crown?
Save the filling or crown if you can and bring it in. We may be able to reuse it. Try to avoid chewing on that side until you’re seen.
Will my insurance cover emergency care?
Most dental plans do cover emergency services. We’ll check your benefits and explain your options so there are no surprises.
