Emergency Dental Care: What to Do When a Toothache Strikes

A sudden toothache or dental emergency can be both painful and stressful. At Mint Dental, we offer same-day emergency care to provide fast relief and expert treatment when you need it most. Knowing what to do in a dental emergency can make a big difference in saving your tooth and minimizing discomfort.

Toothaches can arise from various issues, including cavities, infections, or even gum disease. If you experience severe pain, swelling, or sensitivity, it’s essential to see a dentist immediately. In the meantime, rinsing with warm salt water and applying a cold compress can help manage pain and swelling until you receive professional care.

For knocked-out or broken teeth, time is critical. If a tooth is knocked out, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in a container of milk to preserve it until you reach our office. Cracked or broken teeth should also be treated as soon as possible to prevent further damage and infection.

At Mint Dental, we prioritize emergency cases to ensure you get the urgent care you need. Whether it’s a severe toothache, broken crown, or dental trauma, don’t wait—contact our office right away, and let us help you restore your smile quickly and comfortably.
