Common Dental Emergencies We Evaluate

Severe Toothache

Persistent or intense tooth pain may be associated with decay, inflammation, infection, a damaged restoration, or another underlying condition. An emergency examination helps identify the cause and determine whether the tooth can be treated and preserved.

Dental Swelling or Possible Infection

Swelling in the gums, mouth, jaw, or face should not be ignored. A dental evaluation can help determine the source of the swelling and the treatment required to address the underlying problem.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

A broken tooth may expose sensitive areas, cause discomfort, or worsen without treatment. The dentist will evaluate the extent of the damage and determine whether the tooth may be repaired through restorative dentistry or requires another form of care.

Knocked-Out Permanent Tooth

A knocked-out permanent tooth requires immediate attention. Call Q Smiles Dentistry as soon as possible for instructions and availability. Handle the tooth by the crown rather than the root and keep it moist while seeking care.

Lost or Damaged Filling, Crown, or Bridge

A loose, broken, or missing restoration may leave the tooth sensitive and vulnerable to additional damage. An emergency evaluation can determine whether it can be repaired, replaced, or temporarily stabilized.

Dental Injury or Trauma

An impact to the mouth can damage teeth, gums, restorations, or the supporting bone even when the full extent of the injury is not immediately visible. Call the office for guidance after a dental injury.

Tooth That May Require Extraction

When a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or cannot be predictably restored, extraction may be considered. The dentist must first evaluate the tooth and explain whether it can be saved or whether oral surgery or extraction is appropriate.

What to Do Before Your Emergency Visit

  1. Call (305) 947-6453 and describe what happened, when the symptoms began, and whether you have swelling, bleeding, fever, trauma, or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
  2. Follow the instructions provided by the dental team.
  3. Bring identification, current medications, relevant medical information, and dental insurance details if applicable.
  4. Avoid placing aspirin or another medication directly against the tooth or gums.
  5. If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown and keep it moist while seeking immediate dental care.

Calling before arriving allows the team to confirm availability and prepare for your situation.

When Should You Go to a Hospital Emergency Room?

Some symptoms may require medical emergency care rather than a routine dental office visit.

Call 911 or seek emergency medical care if you experience:

  • Difficulty breathing, swallowing, or speaking
  • Rapidly increasing swelling involving the mouth, face, eye, or neck
  • Uncontrolled or heavy bleeding
  • Serious facial or head trauma
  • A suspected broken jaw
  • Loss of consciousness or other concerning medical symptoms

If you are uncertain where to seek care, call the dental office for guidance. Do not delay emergency medical care when breathing, swallowing, severe trauma, or uncontrolled bleeding is involved.
