What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Not sure if what you’re experiencing is an emergency? If it hurts, bleeds, or is getting worse, it’s worth reaching out. A dental emergency typically involves pain, infection, trauma, or damage that needs urgent attention to avoid more serious problems. Here are some of the most common dental emergencies we treat:

  • Intense tooth pain or sudden sensitivity that won’t go away
  • Broken, cracked, or fractured teeth
  • A tooth that’s been knocked out or loosened
  • Lost fillings, crowns, or other dental restorations
  • Visible swelling, abscesses, or signs of infection
  • Bleeding from the mouth that doesn’t stop
  • Injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth (e.g., lips, gums, tongue, cheeks)

When in doubt, give us a call. Acting quickly can mean saving a tooth, avoiding infection, and staying out of the ER. Our friendly team will talk you through what’s happening and help you decide the next best step. 
 

The Benefits of Emergency Dental Care

Prompt treatment during a dental emergency can make all the difference. Here’s why fast care matters.
Pain Relief
Toothaches and dental injuries can be extremely painful. Emergency dentistry offers quick solutions to relieve discomfort so you can breathe easy.
Prevents Damage
A cracked tooth or broken filling may seem minor, but if left untreated, it can lead to infection, tooth loss, or more complex (and expensive) treatment later.
Saves Your Smile
Quick action after a tooth is knocked out or damaged can often mean the difference between saving and losing the tooth. Please call us right away!
Supports Overall Health
Dental infections can spread quickly and become serious if ignored. Emergency dental care helps protect your health and prevent complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Inside every tooth lies a soft center called the "pulp." It's a sensitive space filled with nerves and blood vessels that keep the tooth alive. When that pulp becomes irritated or infected, it can threaten the health of your entire smile.

Several issues can lead to this kind of internal damage, including:

  • Deep decay that reaches the inner layers of the tooth
  • Chips, cracks, or fractures that expose the pulp
  • Dental trauma, even if there’s no visible damage
  • Cavities that have been left untreated too long

Because the pulp is so nerve-rich, inflammation here often causes intense, persistent pain. You might also notice sharp sensitivity to hot or cold, tenderness when biting, swollen gums, or even a small bump near the affected area. Sometimes, a darkening tooth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth can be early warning signs of infection.

If the infection is left untreated, it can spread beyond the tooth and lead to more serious health complications. A root canal works by gently removing the damaged pulp, disinfecting the tooth’s interior, and sealing it to prevent future problems.

Your Comfort and Safety Come First

We understand that dental emergencies can be overwhelming, especially when you're already in pain, feeling anxious, or unsure of what’s going on. That’s why at Harmony Dentistry, we’ve created a process that prioritizes your comfort, clarity, and safety from the very first moment you reach out.

From the second you call us, our caring team will listen attentively and guide you through what to do next. We’ll schedule you as soon as possible, often the same day, and make sure you feel supported, not rushed. We’ll always treat you with the compassion and urgency your situation deserves.

When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and friendly environment designed to reduce stress and help you feel at ease. Our team is highly trained in gentle, patient-centered care, and we’re always happy to answer your questions or explain each step. For patients with dental anxiety or heightened sensitivity, we also offer sedation options to help you relax throughout your procedure.

Each emergency visit begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital x-rays or other imaging, so we can accurately identify the source of the problem. Once we’ve diagnosed the issue, we’ll talk through your treatment options clearly and honestly. If immediate care is needed, we’ll do everything we can to start treatment that same day and relieve your discomfort as quickly as possible.

At Harmony Dentistry, you’re not just another appointment; you’re someone we genuinely care about. When dental emergencies happen, we’re here to help you through it with skill, empathy, and a smile.
