What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Not every urgent dental problem involves a knocked-out tooth. Common emergencies we treat include:

Severe or persistent toothaches
Knocked-out or broken teeth
Lost crowns, fillings, or bridges
Swelling, abscesses, or infections
Gum bleeding that won’t stop
Oral injuries or trauma

If you’re in pain or unsure whether you need immediate care, call our office. Our team will help you decide the next steps and get you scheduled as quickly as possible.

Why Immediate Treatment Matters

Save your tooth – Knocked-out teeth can sometimes be saved if treated within 1–2 hours.
Stop the pain – Severe toothaches and infections only worsen without professional care.
Prevent further damage – Addressing the issue early avoids more complex and costly treatment later.
Protect your health – Oral infections can spread quickly and may become serious if untreated.

What To Do During a Dental Emergency

If you’re facing a dental emergency, the most important step is to call Smiles of Sedro-Woolley right away so we can fit you in for care. While you’re on your way to see us, here are some things you can do to protect your teeth and reduce discomfort:

Control bleeding: Use a clean piece of gauze, cotton, or a paper towel and apply gentle pressure to the area. In most cases, bleeding should begin to slow within 30–45 minutes.
Reduce swelling: Apply a cold compress or ice pack to the outside of your cheek near the affected area for 10 minutes at a time, with breaks in between. This can help reduce swelling and provide temporary relief.
Preserve a knocked-out tooth: If an adult tooth has been knocked out, gently rinse it with water (do not scrub), and try to place it back into the socket if possible. If that’s not an option, place the tooth in a container of milk or saliva and bring it with you to your appointment. The faster you act, the greater the chance we can save your tooth.
Protect broken or chipped teeth: If a piece of tooth breaks off, rinse your mouth gently with water and bring the fragment with you to the office. Covering the sharp edge with dental wax (if available) can also help protect your tongue and cheeks until you’re seen.

These are only temporary steps. It’s critical to see a dentist as soon as possible to address the underlying cause of the emergency and prevent further damage.

Emergency Dentistry FAQs

Do you accept same-day emergency appointments?

Yes. We make every effort to see patients the same day to relieve pain and address urgent needs.

Do emergency rooms handle dental emergencies?

Usually, no. ER doctors are not trained in dentistry, so while they may give temporary relief, they cannot treat the cause of most dental problems. ER visits are also more expensive than seeing a dentist. The exception is if you have severe bleeding, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or trauma to the face or jaw—in those cases, go to the ER immediately.

What are common dental emergencies?

Some of the most common issues that require immediate care include:

Severe toothache that won’t go away
Broken or chipped tooth causing pain
Knocked-out tooth (needs care within the hour)
Lost filling or crown
Abscess or infection, often with swelling, fever, or a foul taste in the mouth

How soon should I see a dentist if I think it’s an emergency?

Right away. Quick treatment helps prevent further damage, relieves pain, and can even save a tooth. In cases like a knocked-out tooth, seeing a dentist within the hour may make the difference between saving and losing it.

Do you take new patients for emergencies?

Yes. Whether you’re already a patient or it’s your first visit, we’re here to help.
