Dental problems don’t always happen on a schedule. A sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or an unexpected accident can leave you in pain and unsure of what to do next. That’s where knowing the difference between a true dental emergency and how to act quickly makes all the difference.
At Henday Dental, we’re here to help when you need us most, offering same-day emergency care to relieve pain, protect your smile, and get you back to feeling like yourself.
Common Dental Emergencies & How Henday Dental Can Help
Chipped or Broken Tooth
Whether it’s from biting something hard or an accident, a chipped or broken tooth can be painful and may expose the inner layers of your tooth.
First aid: Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and save any pieces if possible.
How Henday Dental can help: We’ll assess the damage and restore your tooth with options like bonding, veneers, or crowns to protect it and bring back your smile.
Severe Toothache or Sudden Pain
A toothache that won’t go away is often a sign of infection, decay, or another issue that needs immediate attention.
First aid: Rinse your mouth with warm water, gently floss to remove any debris, and take over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth.
How Henday Dental can help: Our team will diagnose the cause of the pain, whether it’s decay, infection, or trauma, and provide same-day treatment to stop the discomfort and prevent it from worsening.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out tooth is one of the most urgent dental emergencies. Acting quickly (within 30–60 minutes) greatly increases the chance of saving it.
First aid: Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it with water if it’s dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saliva and get to the dentist right away.
How Henday Dental can help: If you arrive in time, we may be able to reinsert and stabilize the tooth. If not, we’ll discuss options like dental implants or bridges to restore your smile.
Lost Filling or Crown
Losing a filling or crown can leave your tooth vulnerable to damage or sensitivity.
First aid: Keep the area clean, and if possible, place dental cement (available at most pharmacies) over the exposed area until you see us.
How Henday Dental can help: We’ll replace or restore the filling or crown quickly, ensuring your tooth is protected and your bite is comfortable again.
