What is considered a dental emergency?

At our clinic, we treat dental emergencies such as severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, infections or abscesses causing pain and swelling, and damaged or lost fillings and crowns. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, call us right away so we can get you the care you need quickly.

Can you see me the same day for a dental emergency?

Yes! At Bluebird Family Dentistry, our emergency dentist makes every effort to see patients the same day. Call us as soon as the problem starts, and we’ll do our best to get you in quickly for treatment.

What should I do if I have swelling in my face or gums?

Facial swelling may be a sign of infection, which can spread quickly if untreated. Call us right away, and if breathing or swallowing becomes difficult, seek emergency medical care immediately.

How can I prevent dental emergencies?

Regular dental checkups, daily brushing and flossing, wearing a mouthguard during sports, and avoiding chewing on hard items like ice or pens can all reduce your risk of emergencies.

How can I manage severe tooth pain until I see the dentist?

Over-the-counter pain relievers, rinsing with warm salt water, and applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek can help ease discomfort temporarily. Avoid putting aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
