Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions about dental emergencies, we’ve got answers. View all FAQs.

What’s considered a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation where you’re in pain, suffering from embarrassment, or have a visibly broken or infected tooth. Not all dental emergencies are painful. If you’re unable to eat or go about your normal daily activities, you need to see an emergency dentist.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Immediately locate your tooth and store it in a sealed container, with milk or contact solution covering the entire surface. If the tooth is completely knocked out, be sure not to touch the root. You can gently rinse away any visible debris as long as you do not touch or scrub the root surfaces.

How can I manage toothaches or tooth pain on my way to an emergency appointment?

The best thing to do for a toothache is to rinse with warm salt water and take Motrin (ibuprofen) as directed to manage swelling and discomfort. If possible, you can also apply a cold compress to that side of your face to ease inflammation and pain. For fast pain relief, contact All Smiles Dental Studio immediately.

How much does emergency dental treatment cost?

After we get you out of pain, we can discuss which types of treatments are available for your situation. Our office offers flexible payment options for every budget. We will also work with your insurance carrier to maximize the benefits allowed under your plan.
