Dental Emergencies We Treat
Call us immediately if you are experiencing any of the following. Do not wait - dental problems that go untreated typically become more complicated and more expensive to resolve.
|
⚠ Severe Tooth Pain
Persistent or worsening tooth pain - especially with heat, cold, or pressure - often signals an infection or abscess that requires prompt treatment.
|
|
⚠ Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out permanent tooth can often be saved if you act within 30-60 minutes. Keep it moist (in milk or between your cheek and gum) and call us immediately.
|
|
⚠ Cracked or Broken Tooth
A cracked or broken tooth exposes the inner pulp to bacteria. Depending on the severity, treatment ranges from bonding or a crown to a root canal.
|
|
|
⚠ Dental Abscess
A pocket of infection at the root of a tooth or between the gum and tooth. Signs include severe pain, swelling, fever, or a pimple on the gums. This requires immediate attention.
|
|
⚠ Lost Filling or Crown
A lost filling or crown exposes sensitive tooth structure. While not always immediately painful, it should be replaced promptly to prevent further damage or decay.
|
|
⚠ Soft Tissue Injury
Cuts or lacerations to the lips, gums, cheeks, or tongue that won't stop bleeding. Apply pressure with clean gauze and call us or proceed to urgent care if bleeding is severe.

What to Do During a Dental Emergency
|
Step 1: Call us immediately at (703) 754-5800. Describe what happened and your current symptoms. We will advise you on immediate steps and get you scheduled as quickly as possible.
Step 2: Manage pain and swelling while you wait. Over-the-counter pain relievers and a cold compress on the outside of your face can help reduce discomfort and swelling.
Step 3: Save any broken pieces. If a tooth or restoration has broken, keep the pieces in a clean container or plastic bag and bring them with you.
Step 4: For a knocked-out tooth, handle it by the crown only, do not scrub it, and keep it moist - in milk, saline, or between your cheek and gum. Time is critical.
