Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Severe Toothaches
Persistent pain or sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure may indicate infection, deep decay, or nerve damage requiring urgent attention.
BrokenTeeth
Even minor fractures can weaken the tooth and lead to pain, infection, or further breakage if left untreated.
Knocked-Out Teeth
Quick action can increase the chance of saving and reattaching a knocked-out tooth. Seek immediate care for the best outcome.
Broken Crowns
A missing filling or broken crown can expose sensitive tooth structures, leading to pain, infection, or further decay.
Infection & Swelling
An untreated infection can spread quickly, causing severe pain, swelling, and pus formation. Immediate treatment helps prevent complications.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Cuts, bleeding, or trauma to the mouth should be evaluated promptly to prevent infection and ensure proper healing.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
If you have a dental emergency, taking the right steps before your appointment can help protect your teeth and minimize discomfort:
For a Toothache
Rinse with warm salt water to reduce bacteria, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, and avoid extremely hot or cold foods.
For a Knocked-Out Tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in a container of milk or saliva until you reach the dentist.
For a Broken Tooth
Rinse your mouth, save any broken pieces, and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling.
For an Abscess or Swelling
Do not attempt to drain the abscess yourself. Apply a cold compress and seek emergency dental care immediately to prevent infection from spreading.
Dr. Sumana Anand
With 15 years in dentistry, my passion for holistic health led me through private practices and community clinics, gaining insights into diverse oral healthcare aspects.
Dental Artisans is more than a clinic; it's a haven for patient-centered care, where cutting-edge technology meets a personal touch. A healthy smile, to me, is a reflection of overall well-being, and I'm on a mission to provide high-quality, tailored dental care.
What sets Dental Artisans apart is our commitment to advanced technology, making it accessible to all. Opening this clinic was both a professional and personal decision, driven by a duty to bring a unique dentistry brand to the community.
Our goal is simple – to provide accessible, high-quality dental care by integrating the latest technologies. I'm motivated by the satisfaction of seeing patients maintain healthy smiles, blending expertise with a caring touch.
Beyond the dental chair, I find balance in nature through hiking, yoga, and cherishing family moments with my husband, children, and our pet Labrador. These experiences enrich my perspective, ensuring Dental Artisans is a sanctuary where warmth, compassion, and innovation converge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Any severe pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, or trauma to the teeth, gums, or jaw may require immediate attention. If you're unsure, call us, and we’ll help determine if you need urgent care.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Act quickly—rinse the tooth gently without scrubbing, place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk or saliva. Seek emergency dental care immediately to improve the chances of saving the tooth.
How do I know if my toothache is an emergency?
A toothache that is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling, fever, or sensitivity to pressure could indicate an infection or abscess that needs urgent treatment.
Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
Hospitals are not equipped to handle most dental emergencies. They may provide pain relief but won’t treat the underlying issue. Seeing an emergency dentist is the best way to resolve the problem quickly.
What if my filling or crown falls out?
If a filling or crown is lost, avoid chewing on the affected side and store the crown in a safe place. Contact us as soon as possible to restore the tooth and prevent further damage.
What happens if I don’t treat an abscessed tooth right away?
An abscess is a serious infection that can spread to the jaw, face, or bloodstream if untreated. Immediate care is essential to prevent severe complications.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?
Yes! We prioritize emergency cases and offer same-day appointments whenever possible. We also welcome walk-ins for urgent concerns.
Can I get treatment if I don’t have dental insurance?
Yes! We offer flexible payment plans and financing options to ensure you can get the care you need without financial stress.
What should I do if my gums won’t stop bleeding?
If your gums bleed excessively after an injury or dental procedure, apply gentle pressure with gauze and contact us immediately. Uncontrolled bleeding may require urgent attention.
What should I avoid doing during a dental emergency?
Avoid ignoring the pain, using aspirin directly on a sore tooth, or waiting too long for treatment. Delaying care can worsen the problem and lead to more complex treatments later.
