Understanding Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies can range from sudden pain to traumatic injuries, and knowing when to seek immediate care is crucial for your health and well-being. Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothache
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Knocked-out teeth
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Abscesses or severe infections
- Bleeding or swelling in the mouth
If you experience any of these issues, it’s important to contact us right away. Early intervention can make a significant difference in the outcome of your treatment.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Taking the right steps immediately after a dental emergency can help protect your oral health:
- For knocked-out teeth: Keep the tooth moist at all times, avoiding touching the root. Try to place the tooth back in the socket without forcing it, or keep it in milk until you can get to our office.
- For cracked teeth: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- For toothaches: Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently use dental floss to remove any food caught between your teeth. Avoid putting aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
Contact us immediately for guidance and to arrange an urgent appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. This can include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, abscesses, lost fillings or crowns, and infections causing swelling or fever.
What should I do if I have a knocked-out tooth?
If you have a knocked-out tooth, time is of the essence. Retrieve the tooth by the crown (the part that's visible in the mouth), avoiding touching the root. Rinse the tooth with water if it's dirty, but do not scrub. Try to reinsert it in the socket. If that's not possible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or holding it in your mouth next to your cheek. Contact PasaDental immediately for further instructions.
Can a chipped tooth be considered an emergency?
Yes, a chipped or broken tooth can be considered an emergency, especially if there's significant pain or the damage is near the nerve. Small chips that don't cause pain may not require urgent care, but you should still see a dentist soon to prevent further damage.
How can I relieve toothache pain before my emergency appointment?
To relieve toothache pain temporarily, rinse your mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss to remove any food caught between your teeth. Avoid using aspirin on the aching tooth or gum area. You may take over-the-counter pain relievers, but consult with us for recommendations based on your specific situation.
What should I do if my crown falls off?
Keep the crown safe and avoid chewing on the affected side of your mouth. Try using dental adhesive or toothpaste to temporarily reattach the crown if possible. Contact PasaDental as soon as possible for professional reattachment or replacement.
How quickly do I need to act in a dental emergency?
The sooner you act, the better the outcome is likely to be. For example, a knocked-out tooth has the highest chance of being saved if you see a dentist within an hour. No matter the emergency, prompt action and contacting PasaDental immediately is crucial.
Does PasaDental offer emergency dental services?
Yes, PasaDental in Pasadena, TX, offers emergency dental services to address urgent care needs. We strive to see emergency cases as quickly as possible to alleviate pain and treat the issue effectively.
How much does emergency dental care cost?
The cost of emergency dental care varies depending on the type of treatment required. At PasaDental, we offer a $20 emergency exam to help assess your situation affordably. We'll provide you with a clear understanding of any further treatment costs and options during your visit.
Will my insurance cover emergency dental care?
Many dental insurance plans offer coverage for emergency care, but coverage details vary. Our team at PasaDental can help you understand your benefits and will work with your insurance company to maximize your coverage.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, maintaining good oral hygiene, wearing a mouthguard during sports, avoiding chewing hard foods and objects, and keeping regular dental checkups can significantly reduce the risk.
