Here is a list of some common dental emergencies and how to handle them. These recommendations will alleviate some of the tooth pain or damage, and help ensure your treatment goes as smoothly as possible:
Intense tooth pain or toothache: Tooth pain may be indicative of infection. Apply a hot compress as needed, and visit our dentists in Chelmsford right away.
A broken, cracked, or chipped tooth: If you’ve broken off a piece of your tooth, try to collect all the broken pieces for potential reattachment. If bleeding occurs, rinse out any blood in the mouth and apply gauze.
An object stuck between teeth: Be careful trying to remove the object and stop trying if removal causes intense stress or pain to the surrounding teeth. Do not use any other object to try to remove whatever is stuck between your teeth.
A knocked-out tooth: Locate the knocked-out tooth and put it in a bag of milk; be sure to bring it with you to your appointment. Usually, we’ll be able to reattach it. As with broken teeth, if bleeding occurs, rinse out any blood in the mouth and apply gauze.
Intense jaw pain: As with tooth pain, jaw pain may mean infection. If you are experiencing jaw pain, then visit Future Of Dentistry in Chelmsford immediately.
Severe tooth pain: Experiencing a toothache is a common sign of infection. If you are having tooth pain, don’t ignore it! It will not go away spontaneously and your body might be alerting you to a more serious problem. If you’re experiencing pain, call us right away.Â
Tooth Infection: A tooth infection won’t resolve on its own. Whether caused by decay, injury, or even old dental work, a tooth infection should be considered a dental emergency and addressed right away.
Bleeding in the mouth: If you find unexplained bleeding in your mouth, rinse the blood out with warm water. Apply gauze or a clean towel to stop the bleeding where possible.
Intense swelling: Apply a cold compress if you are experiencing severe or painful swelling in your mouth, around your teeth, or jaws.
The most important thing you can do during a dental emergency is getting to our practice as soon as possible. Quick intervention may be able to save your tooth and preserve your oral health.
Do not wait! Immediately call Future Of Dentistry, serving Chelmsford, Lowell, and beyond at (978-970-2089) if you or a loved one are experiencing a Dental Emergency.

How to handle dental emergenciesÂ
By now, you know the best thing to do in an emergency is to give us a call. However, if you’re looking for some ways to manage the pain and keep the damage to a minimum on your way to your appointment, these suggestions will help.Â
You’ve chipped a tooth
Is a chipped tooth really a big deal? Even a small chip can leave a tooth vulnerable to further damage. That’s why you’ll need a dentist to evaluate the damage. If possible, save the piece of the tooth that was chipped off and bring it to your appointment.Â
You’re experiencing severe tooth pain
Pain can be a sign of infection and should be assessed by an emergency dentist. To help with pain or discomfort before your appointment, try applying a hot compress to your face in the area of concern.
You’ve knocked out or lost a tooth
If you’ve lost a tooth, try to find it and put it in milk right away. This will help preserve the tooth on the way to your appointment.
(This is why we suggest keeping a liquid-tight container in your first aid kit.) As with broken teeth, if bleeding occurs, rinse out your mouth and apply sterile gauze to help stop the bleeding.
You’ve broken a tooth
If at all possible, collect the pieces of your broken tooth and bring them to your appointment. (This is one of the reasons for keeping baggies in your first aid kit.) If you’re experiencing any bleeding, rinse your mouth clear of blood with a warm water and salt rinse and then apply sterile gauze to help stop the bleeding.
Be prepared for emergencies
A first aid kit is a must-have for the home and the car. Is your first aid kit equipped to handle dental emergencies? If not, consider adding items for emergency dental care to your existing first-aid supplies. Some items to have on hand include:
- Latex or nitrile gloves.
- Sterile gauze.
- A dental mirror.
- Dental floss.
- A small liquid-tight container or baggie (for lost or broken teeth)
You’re experiencing jaw pain
Like tooth pain, pain in the jaw may suggest infection. It could also mean that you are suffering from TMD- a disorder of the (TMJ) temporomandibular joint. Call us so we can evaluate your jaw and find the cause of the pain.Â
You’re experiencing intense swelling
Swelling can accompany many dental emergencies. Call our emergency dentists so they can evaluate and treat the cause of the swelling. For immediate relief before your appointment, apply a cold compress to decrease the swelling.
If you think you may be having a dental emergency, contact our Chelmsford practice at 978-970-2089 as soon as possible.
