How to Handle a Dental Emergency in Midwest City

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

If you’re not sure whether something qualifies as an emergency, ask yourself this:
Is it painful, bleeding, infected, or interfering with daily life? If the answer is yes, it’s worth getting checked out right away.

Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe or sudden toothaches
• Cracked, broken, or chipped teeth
• Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
• Lost fillings or crowns
• Gum swelling or abscesses
• Oral bleeding that won’t stop
• Jaw pain or trauma

We treat all of the above — and more — right here at our Midwest City dental office with urgent, compassionate care.

What to Do Before You Call

Here are a few steps to take while you’re on your way or waiting to be seen:

• Toothache: Rinse with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relief (never place aspirin directly on the gum).
• Knocked-out tooth: Keep the tooth moist — either in milk, saliva, or gently back in its socket.
• Cracked/chipped tooth: Rinse your mouth and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any broken pieces.
• Swelling or abscess: Don’t ignore it — infections can spread quickly. Apply cold compresses and call us immediately.
