Emergency Dental Care: Fast, Reliable Relief for Tooth Pain, Swelling, Infections & Dental Injuries

What Is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any condition that requires urgent treatment to:

• Relieve severe pain
• Stop bleeding
• Control infection
• Save a damaged or broken tooth

You should seek emergency dental care immediately if you experience:

• Sudden, severe tooth pain
• Swelling in the gums or face
• Dental abscess or infection
• Broken or chipped tooth
• Knocked-out tooth
• Lost fillings or crowns
• Gum bleeding that doesn't stop
• Trauma from accidents, falls, or sports injuries

Ignoring these signs can cause the condition to worsen quickly.

Common Dental Emergencies Treated at Desh Dental

✔ 1. Severe Toothache

Persistent or intense tooth pain often indicates an infection, deep decay, cracked tooth, or nerve damage.

We diagnose the cause using digital X-rays and provide immediate relief.

✔ 2. Dental Abscess & Swelling

A dental abscess is a serious infection that requires urgent treatment. Symptoms include:

• Swelling
• Fever
• Throbbing pain
• Pus or bad taste
• Gum redness

We treat the infection, drain the abscess (if needed), prescribe medication, and provide long-term solutions.

✔ 3. Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Teeth

Accidents, biting hard foods, or grinding can cause fractures.

Depending on the severity, treatment may include:

• Bonding
• Crowns
• Veneers
• Root canal treatment
• Extraction (only if necessary)

✔ 4. Knocked-Out Tooth

✔ 5. Loose or Lost Fillings / Crowns

Lost restorations expose the tooth to sensitivity and infection.

We replace or repair your filling or crown to restore strength and prevent damage.

✔ 6. Bleeding Gums or Soft Tissue Injuries

Cuts, tears, or trauma to the gums, cheeks, tongue, or lips may require immediate attention to stop bleeding and prevent infection.

✔ 7. Wisdom Tooth Pain

Impacted or infected wisdom teeth can cause swelling, pain, and difficulty opening your mouth.

We offer:

• Emergency evaluation
• Pain relief
• Antibiotics (if needed)
• Extraction scheduling

Do I Need to Go to the ER or a Dentist?

In most dental emergencies, the dentist is the right place to go.

Go to a hospital ER ONLY if you have:

• Severe swelling affecting breathing
• Uncontrolled bleeding
• Trauma involving the jaw or face
• Fever with spreading infection

Otherwise, Desh Dental can treat your emergency same-day.

Good oral habits reduce unexpected dental issues.
