When a dental emergency strikes, it often comes without warning. And knowing where to turn can make all the difference. But at Black Dog Dental Studio, patients can count on prompt, compassionate, and highly skilled care when they need it most. 

Whether you're dealing with a sudden toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or swelling that's keeping you up at night, Dr. Koneru and the team are here to restore your comfort and safeguard your oral health with urgency and excellence.

What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies can vary widely in severity, but they all share one thing in common: they require timely attention to prevent further issues or alleviate significant discomfort. Understanding when to seek immediate help can preserve your smile and your peace of mind. Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe or persistent tooth pain
• Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
• Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
• Infections or abscesses that cause swelling or fever
• Broken dental restorations, such as crowns or fillings

If you're unsure whether your situation is an emergency, it's always best to call a trusted provider like Black Dog Dental Studio. Acting quickly can be key to saving a tooth or preventing complications.

Immediate Steps to Take in a Dental Emergency

What you do in the first few moments after a dental injury or the onset of pain can significantly impact your outcome. While our team is ready to help, here are a few urgent steps to take before your visit:

• Tooth knocked out: Keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or back in the socket if possible; avoid touching the root.
• Swelling or suspected infection: Rinse gently with warm salt water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Broken tooth or filling: Rinse with water to clean the area and use dental wax or sugar-free gum to cover sharp edges.
• Severe pain: Use an over-the-counter pain reliever and contact your dentist promptly for further assessment.

Our team is happy to guide you through these first-aid steps over the phone, so you feel supported every step of the way.
