Dr. Carraway answers your most commonquestions about dental emergencies.
What is considered a dental emergency?
If you’re in pain or worried about a dental problem, contact us and we’ll let you know for sure whether or not you need emergency care. Examples of a dental emergency include a toothache, a knocked out tooth, a broken or fractured tooth, a lost filling or crown, bleeding gums, or an abscess.
Will my tooth need to be pulled?
Whether you have a toothache or other dental issue, it doesn’t always mean you need an extraction. We’ll conduct a thorough examination to determine whether or not we can repair the issue with a filling, crown, or root canal. If a dental extraction is necessary, we’ll help you know what to expect and create a plan moving forward.
Will a toothache go away on its own?
A toothache may temporarily subside on its own, especially if it’s caused by a minor irritation. However, if the underlying cause, such as an infection or decay, is not addressed, the pain is likely to return and potentially worsen over time. We almost always suggest seeking help right away.
What are the signs of an infected tooth?
Signs of an infected tooth include persistent and throbbing toothache, heightened sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, swelling of the face or gums, and the presence of a pimple-like bump on the gum near the affected tooth. If left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to fever, bad taste in the mouth, and potentially serious complications. Seeking dental care promptly is essential if these symptoms arise.
Is a broken or fractured tooth serious?
A broken or fractured tooth can vary in severity, but it is generally considered a serious issue. Even minor fractures can expose sensitive inner layers of the tooth, leading to pain and heightened vulnerability to infection. Without prompt treatment, more significant fractures can cause further damage and potential complications, making early dental intervention crucial.
Is a knocked-out tooth serious?
Yes, you should seek dental care immediately if you knock a tooth out. Time is crucial for successful reimplantation, and a dentist can assess the tooth’s condition, clean it properly, and attempt to reinsert it into the socket. Even if reinsertion isn’t possible, the dentist can provide guidance on next steps to preserve your oral health and appearance.

“Amazing Staff”
Dr. Caraway and his staff are amazing, professional, and caring. I highly recommend them. I needed a lot of dental work and signed up for their annual dental plan which saved me a lot of money with 2 free cleanings and x-rays and a percentage off dental work. Thank you Dr. Caraway and friendly staff.
