Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Toothaches
When a toothache strikes, it can be debilitating. Severe tooth pain often signals an infection, deep cavity, or cracked tooth that needs immediate attention. We diagnose the cause and provide effective pain relief — often in the same visit.
Root Canal Therapy
A root canal saves a severely infected or decayed tooth by removing the damaged tissue inside. Symptoms include swelling, sensitivity to temperature, and severe throbbing pain. Modern root canal treatment is comfortable, effective, and often the best way to save your natural tooth.
When a Tooth Is Damaged, Broken, or Lost
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is too damaged to save, extraction provides immediate pain relief and prevents the spread of infection. Thanks to modern anesthetics and Dr. Brammeier's experience, extractions are far less painful than ever before — many patients report little or no discomfort.
Traumatic Injuries
A knocked-out, dislodged, or partially pushed-in tooth requires immediate attention. Dr. Brammeier is trained to reposition, stabilize, and treat injured teeth — and in many cases, the tooth can be saved if you act quickly.
Cracked Teeth
Cracks and fractures can develop suddenly from trauma or slowly over time from grinding and biting forces. Some cause severe pain while others are painless. Dr. Brammeier determines the location and severity of the crack and recommends the best course of action — many can be treated with root canal therapy.
Time matters in a dental emergency. Call us now for same-day care.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Knocked-Out Tooth
- Find the tooth — handle it by the crown (top), never the root
- Gently rinse the tooth with water if dirty — do not scrub or remove tissue
- Try to place the tooth back in the socket and hold it in place by biting on a cloth
- If you can't reinsert it, place the tooth in milk or saliva to keep it moist
- Get to our office within 30 minutes — the sooner you arrive, the better the chance of saving the tooth
Severe Toothache or Swelling
- Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help reduce bacteria
- Use over-the-counter pain relievers as directed — avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum
- Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling
- Do not apply heat to the affected area
- Call us immediately — tooth pain and swelling often indicate an infection that needs prompt treatment
