Emergency dentistry is a type of dental care concerned with unexpected dental issues that require urgent attention. This type of dentistry provides immediate attention to emergencies to help alleviate pain and reduce the risk of long-term dental complications.
At Swartout Dental, we are readily available to help you if you have an oral emergency. We offer same-day, after-hours, and weekend appointments to meet your urgent dental needs as quickly as possible. Please fill out our contact form online to get in touch and schedule an appointment with our dentist. Some of the most common dental emergencies we treat at Swartout Dental include the following:
If the knocked-out tooth is in good condition, we may be able to put it back if you act quickly. Retrieve the tooth and hold it by the top and rinse it. Keep the tooth in a container filled with milk and bring it with you to our office.
If a wire breaks out of a bracket and digs into your cheek, tongue, or gum, try repositioning it to a comfortable level. If you’re unable to push it back, leave it and contact us right away.
A toothache is a sign of an underlying dental problem, such as tooth decay, cavities, infection, gum disease, or bruxism. If you experience a severe toothache, schedule an emergency appointment for assessment and treatment.
If a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth is causing pain or bleeding, you should seek urgent dental care.
At Swartout Dental, we have developed a streamlined process for emergency dentistry to ensure that you receive the necessary care in a timely manner. Here's what you can expect:
When you contact us with a dental emergency, our compassionate team will assess the situation over the phone. We’ll gather relevant information about your condition, such as the nature of the emergency, any visible damage, and the level of pain you are experiencing.

After understanding the urgency of your dental emergency, we’ll schedule an appointment for you as soon as possible. Our practice prioritizes emergency cases to accommodate your needs promptly. We strive to minimize waiting times and provide immediate relief.
Upon arrival at our practice, our skilled dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your oral condition. This examination may include digital X-rays or other diagnostic procedures to assess the extent of the damage and identify any underlying issues. Our goal is to obtain a clear understanding of your situation and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Dental emergencies often involve significant pain or discomfort. Our team will prioritize pain management to alleviate your symptoms and help you feel at ease. Depending on the nature of your emergency, we may administer local anesthesia or prescribe medication to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Once we have assessed your condition, we’ll discuss the available treatment options with you. Our dentist will explain the recommended procedures, their benefits, and any associated costs. We prioritize patient education and strive to answer all your questions, ensuring that you are well informed and comfortable with the proposed treatment plan.
Our highly skilled dental team will provide the necessary treatments to address your emergency. Whether it involves a root canal, extraction, dental restoration, or other procedures, we utilize state-of-the-art equipment and advanced techniques to deliver optimal results. We are committed to restoring your smile and oral health to its full potential.
After completing the emergency dental procedure, we will provide you with detailed instructions on post-treatment care. We’ll explain how to manage any discomfort, maintain oral hygiene, and schedule any necessary follow-up appointments. Our team is always available to address any concerns or questions you may have during your recovery.

If you have severe pain, swelling, and bleeding in your mouth, you may have a dental emergency and should contact us immediately. A knocked-out tooth or a broken tooth that’s causing severe pain may also require immediate attention.
If you’re experiencing pain and swelling, the best thing to do is to take over-the-counter pain medications like Ibuprofen. This can provide some relief from pain and discomfort until you get to our office for treatment.
The most prudent way to shun dental emergencies is to take good care of your oral health, such as cleaning and flossing your teeth as recommended. Regular visits to your dentist for checkups and cleanings can also help reduce your risk of dental emergencies.
