Frequently
Asked
Questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include severe tooth pain, swelling, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, bleeding that won’t stop, and infections. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to call.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?
Yes. Landing Dentistry does its best to provide same-day emergency appointments whenever possible to relieve pain and prevent the issue from getting worse.
What should I do if I have a severe toothache?
Call our office as soon as possible. In the meantime, rinse with warm salt water and avoid chewing on that side. Toothaches often signal infection or deep decay and should be evaluated quickly.
What should I do if I chip or break a tooth?
Save any broken pieces if possible and call us right away. Depending on the damage, we may recommend bonding, a crown, or another restorative option.
What if I lose a filling or crown?
Contact our office as soon as possible. A lost filling or crown can leave the tooth exposed and sensitive, and delaying treatment may lead to further damage.
Should I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
For most dental emergencies, a dentist is the best place to start. However, if you have trouble breathing, severe swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding, you should seek immediate medical attention.
What should I do if my face is swollen?
Facial swelling can be a sign of infection and should be treated urgently. Call our office as soon as possible so we can evaluate the issue.
Can an emergency dentist save a tooth?
Often, yes. Getting treatment quickly can improve the chances of saving a damaged or infected tooth.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
If possible, gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing and try to keep it moist. Call us immediately—timing is critical for saving a knocked-out tooth.
What if I have pain but no visible damage?
Pain can still indicate a serious issue such as infection or deep decay. We recommend scheduling an emergency visit so we can diagnose the cause.
Why It Matters
Dental pain can’t wait, and neither should you. Delaying treatment for emergencies can lead to more serious problems down the line. Our goal is to quickly alleviate your discomfort, protect your oral health, and help you get back to your routine with peace of mind.
