What You Can Do Before You Reach Us
Cracked Tooth
If a tooth becomes cracked or fractured, try to stay calm and gently rinse your mouth with warm water to keep the area clean. Applying a cold compress to the outside of your face may help reduce swelling. Contact us as soon as possible so we can guide you on the next steps and determine how quickly you should be seen.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out tooth requires quick action. Hold the tooth by the crown (the visible part of the tooth), avoiding the root. Rinse it gently with water without scrubbing it. If possible, try to place the tooth back into its socket.
If reinserting the tooth isn’t possible, keep it moist by placing it in milk or saliva and contact us immediately. Acting quickly greatly improves the chances of saving the tooth.
Broken Jaw
A broken jaw is a serious medical situation. Apply a cold compress to the affected area and seek immediate medical attention by visiting the nearest emergency department.
Toothache
Sometimes a toothache is caused by food trapped between teeth. Carefully floss and rinse with warm water to remove debris. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums or teeth, as this may cause irritation. If the pain continues or becomes severe, contact us so we can identify the cause and help relieve your discomfort.
Bitten Lip or Tongue
Accidentally biting your lip or tongue can be painful but often heals quickly. Rinse your mouth gently with water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If bleeding continues or the pain becomes severe, seek dental or medical attention.

Helping You Feel Comfortable While You’re Here
Dental emergencies are stressful enough without worrying about discomfort during treatment. Dr. Graham-Wyatt and our team want to help you feel calm, supported, and comfortable while we address the problem.
Gentle techniques and modern technology allow many procedures to be performed with far less discomfort than patients expect. Modern techniques and thoughtful numbing approaches help ensure treatment feels manageable.
By working carefully and adjusting each step to your comfort level, Dr. Graham-Wyatt can address the problem while minimizing unnecessary discomfort.
When additional support is helpful, options such as sedation dentistry can help you relax during treatment. In some cases, advanced technology like no-shot dentistry may reduce the need for traditional injections, helping make the experience feel easier and less intimidating.

Dental emergencies can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. Prompt attention can relieve pain and prevent complications.
If you’re experiencing sudden tooth pain or any dental injury, reach out as soon as possible so Dr. Graham-Wyatt and our team can guide you toward the care you need.

What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation involving severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or damage to a tooth that requires immediate attention.This can include knocked-out teeth, cracked or broken teeth, infections, injuries to the mouth, or toothaches that become intense and persistent. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, it’s always best to call.
Dr. Graham-Wyatt and the team can help determine how urgent your situation is and guide you toward the right next step.
Is a toothache considered a dental emergency?
Some toothaches are minor and caused by temporary irritation, but severe or persistent pain may signal a deeper issue such as infection, decay, or nerve inflammation.If your tooth pain is intense, lasts more than a day or two, or is accompanied by swelling, sensitivity, or fever, it’s important to seek help.
Dr. Graham-Wyatt can evaluate the cause of the pain and recommend treatment that relieves discomfort while protecting your long-term oral health.
Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
Yes, in many cases a knocked-out tooth can be saved if it’s treated quickly.Handle the tooth by the crown, rinse it gently with water, and try to place it back into the socket if possible.
If that isn’t possible, keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and contact us immediately. Acting quickly gives Dr. Graham-Wyatt the best chance of successfully restoring the tooth.
Should I go to the emergency room for a dental problem?
Most dental emergencies are best treated by a dentist because emergency rooms typically cannot provide definitive dental treatment.
However, if your injury involves a broken jaw, severe facial trauma, uncontrollable bleeding, or difficulty breathing, you should seek immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency department.
What should I do if I’m not sure it’s an emergency?
If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and reach out.
Even if the issue turns out to be minor, getting guidance from Dr. Graham-Wyatt can help prevent small problems from turning into larger ones. Our team can help you decide whether you should come in right away or schedule a prompt visit.
