When to See an Emergency Dentist
An emergency dentist assesses the symptoms and the affected tooth before recommending treatment. Significant pain, persistent bleeding, swelling, infection or dental trauma can need prompt attention. A knocked-out or badly broken tooth also needs timely advice; call the clinic and describe what happened rather than waiting for a routine check-up.
A lost filling, damaged crown or chipped tooth may need care too, especially if you have pain or sensitivity. Tell your emergency dentist about changes in your health, medicines you take and any recent dental work. Examination findings determine whether repair, root canal treatment, extraction or a referral is appropriate.
How Your Emergency Dentist Assesses the Problem
Severe or persistent tooth pain may be a sign of a problem that needs prompt dental assessment. Contact U Smile Dentistry so the dental team can evaluate your symptoms and recommend the appropriate next step.
Swelling in the gums, face or jaw can sometimes be associated with a dental infection or another urgent problem. Contact the clinic for guidance, especially if the swelling is increasing or accompanied by significant pain.
A knocked-out tooth or a tooth that is badly broken should be assessed as soon as possible. Contact U Smile Dentistry promptly so the dental team can advise you on what to do next and whether urgent treatment is needed.
A lost filling, crown or other dental restoration may leave the tooth sensitive or vulnerable to further damage. Contact the clinic so the dental team can assess the problem and advise you on the appropriate timing for care.
If a tooth, gum or other part of your mouth has been injured, a dental assessment can help determine the extent of the damage and the appropriate treatment. Contact U Smile Dentistry for guidance on the next step.
Bleeding from the mouth that does not stop may need urgent assessment. Contact U Smile Dentistry for guidance, and seek emergency medical care if the bleeding is severe or you are having difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Some dental problems are urgent, while others can safely wait for a regular appointment. If you are unsure, contact U Smile Dentistry and describe your symptoms so the dental team can help you understand the appropriate next step.

What to Do Before Your Emergency Dental Visit
Call your emergency dentist before coming in so the team can advise you on timing and what to bring. Have your medication list and any relevant dental records available. Avoid putting aspirin or other medication directly on the tooth or gums.
If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown rather than the root and seek prompt dental advice. Keep a detached crown or filling to bring to your visit; do not use household glue. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling or severe bleeding needs emergency medical care; call 911 when necessary.

Emergency Dental Care: Patient Questions
Can tooth pain wait until a regular check-up?
Persistent or severe pain needs timely assessment. Call the clinic, describe when it started and mention swelling, injury or changes in your health.
Do I need an extraction if a tooth is broken?
Not necessarily. Depending on the damage, a filling, crown or root canal treatment may be considered. The dentist must examine the tooth before recommending an option.
What should I do about a lost filling or crown?
Contact the clinic and explain whether you have pain or sensitivity. Keep a detached restoration if you have it and bring it to the appointment; do not use household glue.
When should I seek emergency medical help?
Difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling or severe bleeding requires emergency medical care. Call 911 when necessary rather than waiting for a dental appointment.
Can CDCP cover an emergency dental visit?
The CDCP includes eligible emergency exams and certain treatments, subject to active coverage, program criteria and any required preauthorization. It does not guarantee coverage for every procedure. Read the official covered-services information and our CDCP information before your visit.
Depending on assessment, related care may include root canal treatment, a filling or tooth extraction. Contact the clinic for appointment guidance.
