frequently asked questions

your Emergency Dental questions, answered

  • What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

    Carefully pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it in a container of milk or saline and contact your dentist immediately.

  • Can I treat a dental emergency at home?

    You can manage pain and swelling with over-the-counter pain relievers and a cold compress, but you should always seek professional dental care as soon as possible to prevent complications.

  • How quickly should I see a dentist for a dental emergency?

    You should see a dentist as soon as possible. For issues like knocked-out teeth or severe infections, immediate care (ideally within an hour) can make a significant difference in outcomes.

  • What if I have a dental emergency after office hours?

    Many dental practices, including Feeding Hills Dental Care, provide after-hours emergency contact information. Call the office to find out if immediate care is available or if you should visit an emergency room.

  • What are the signs of a serious dental infection?

    Symptoms of a serious infection include severe pain, swelling, fever, a bad taste in your mouth, and difficulty swallowing or breathing. These signs may indicate an abscess or spreading infection, requiring immediate care.

  • Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?

    Emergency rooms can help with pain management or severe swelling but typically cannot provide definitive dental treatment. It’s best to contact your dentist for urgent care or a referral to an emergency dental specialist.
