DENTAL EMERGENCIES WE TREAT

Is This Your Situation? We Can Help.

If you're experiencing any of the following, call Allegra Dental Center right away. The faster we see you, the more options we have to save your tooth and relieve your pain.

Severe Toothache

Persistent or throbbing pain is a sign something is wrong — don't try to ride it out. We'll find the cause and get you relief.

Knocked-Out Tooth

A tooth that's been knocked out can sometimes be saved if you act fast. Call us immediately for instructions on the way in.

Cracked or Broken Tooth

Even small chips can expose the nerve and lead to infection. Prompt treatment prevents bigger problems down the road.

Dental Abscess or Infection

An abscess is a serious infection that won't resolve on its own. It needs urgent treatment — don't delay.

Lost Crown or Filling

A lost crown or filling exposes sensitive tooth structure. We'll re-cement or replace it quickly to protect the tooth.

Bleeding That Won't Stop

Bleeding gums that don't stop within 10–15 minutes — or bleeding after extraction — should be evaluated promptly.

Loose or Displaced Tooth

A loose adult tooth can often be saved — but only with prompt, professional emergency treatment.

Severe Swelling

Facial or jaw swelling can indicate infection that may spread. Don't wait — call us right away.

Trauma to the Mouth

Any injury to the teeth, gums, lips, or jaw deserves a same-day evaluation. We'll make sure nothing is missed.

FIRST AID FOR DENTAL EMERGENCIES

What to Do Right Now

Follow these steps while you call us — they can make a real difference in saving your tooth and reducing your pain on the way in.

Call (571) 419-6897

Call us first — describe what's happening. We'll tell you exactly what to do and prepare for your arrival.

2

Manage Pain & Bleeding

Rinse gently with warm salt water. Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on gums.

3

Save Anything You Can

For a knocked-out tooth: pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse gently, and place in milk or back in the socket if possible.
