Common Dental Emergencies
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Fast & Reliable Emergency Treatment for All Dental Issues
Dental emergencies vary in severity, but knowing how to act quickly can minimize damage and relieve discomfort. Below are some common dental emergencies we treat and what you can do while waiting to see us.
Toothache
What to do: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. If swelling occurs, apply a cold compress to the outside of your face. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the affected tooth or gum.
Why it matters: Toothaches can be caused by cavities, gum disease, or infections. Immediate care can prevent the problem from worsening and causing more severe pain.
Knocked-Out Tooth
What to do: Pick up the tooth by the crown (avoid touching the root). Rinse it gently with water. If possible, place the tooth back into its socket. If not, store it in milk or a saline solution.
Why it matters: Acting quickly can greatly increase the chances of saving the tooth. Call our office immediately for an emergency appointment.
Cracked Tooth
What to do: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on the affected side to prevent further damage.
Why it matters: A cracked tooth can lead to further complications if not addressed quickly, potentially causing infection or more severe pain.
Lost Filling or Crown
What to do: If a filling falls out, use dental wax or sugar-free gum to cover the exposed area. For a lost crown, try to replace it on the tooth using a temporary dental adhesive.
Why it matters: Without proper protection, the exposed tooth is vulnerable to decay and further damage. Call us right away to have it restored.
Abscessed Tooth
What to do: An abscess is an infection that requires immediate attention. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help alleviate discomfort, but do not attempt to pop the abscess.
Why it matters: An untreated abscess can spread infection, potentially causing serious health complications. Immediate care is essential to prevent this.
Chipped Tooth
What to do: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the affected area. If you find any broken pieces of the tooth, save them and bring them with you to your appointment.
Why it matters: If left untreated, a chipped tooth can lead to infection or more serious damage. Prompt attention is key to preventing further issues.

Rapid Relief for Your Dental Emergencies
Gina Anderson
I totally recommend Dr. Jabbar. This dental office is run by Dr. Jabbar and his wife. They were very kind to me. I went into office with teeth fractures of 2 teeth. Dr. Jabbar did a very very thorough assessment and took images to identify exactly what teeth were injured. Not always clear to see just by looking in the mouth. He did a great job.
Terry Prajapati
I had my first visit to the dentist and I was so glad it was with Dr. Jabbar. I was very nervous and anxious since I’ve never been to a dentist before but Dr. Jabbar turned my first dentist experience into a positive one.
Zehra Rahman
Took my 3 year old daughter for a teeth cleaning and consultation. My child is deathly afraid of healthcare professionals and refuses to let anyone come near her. Dr. Jabbar put on a whole show and tell for her, made everything look silly and fun that she excitedly opened her mouth for the cleaning and loved getting her X-rays done. We had zero tears and all smiles.
Hassan Khan
Took both of my kids here. They are 6 and 7 years old. There was no wait time to see the dentist. The receptionist was very nice, energetic, and knows how to talk to children to put them at ease. The dentist explained all the steps to my kids and answered all of their questions.
Bushra Ghazi
I brought my mother in law here for an emergency appointment as she was experiencing severe pain. We were greeted by Erum at the desk who was very kind and courteous and explained all the paperwork very well.
