What is Considered a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency includes any urgent oral health issue that causes pain, bleeding, infection, or damage to your teeth or gums. Some of the most common emergency dental issues we treat at TriState Family Dental Centers include:

• Severe Toothaches – Persistent pain may indicate infection, decay, or nerve damage that requires immediate attention.
• Broken or Cracked Teeth – Trauma, biting hard objects, or weakened enamel can lead to fractures that need urgent repair.
• Knocked-Out Teeth – Acting fast increases the chance of saving your tooth. Place it in milk and contact us immediately.
• Lost Fillings or Crowns – Exposed teeth are vulnerable to further damage and discomfort without prompt restoration.
• Swollen or Bleeding Gums – This could be a sign of infection or gum disease requiring immediate care.
• Abscessed Tooth – A bacterial infection can spread and cause serious health risks if left untreated.
• Broken Dentures or Bridges – Damaged dental appliances can make it difficult to eat and speak comfortably.

If you experience any of these issues, do not wait—contact our Evansville office immediately for emergency dental care.

As part of our general dentistry services, our team offers a wide range of emergency dental treatments to restore your oral health. Depending on your specific needs, treatment options may include:

• Dental Fillings – If decay or injury has caused a cavity or fracture, we restore your tooth with a durable filling.
• Root Canal Therapy – An abscessed or infected tooth may require a root canal to save it from extraction.
• Crowns & Bridges – A broken or missing tooth can be restored with a custom crown or bridge for full functionality.
• Dentures & Repairs – If your dentures are damaged or need adjustment, we provide fast repair services. 
• Botox for TMJ & Pain Relief – If you experience jaw pain or tension headaches, Botox can provide immediate relief.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

If you experience a dental emergency, follow these steps before coming to our office:

• For a Knocked-Out Tooth – Try to place the tooth back in its socket or store it in milk and seek immediate care.
• For a Severe Toothache – Rinse with warm salt water and avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth.
• For a Broken Tooth – Rinse with water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and see us as soon as possible.
• For an Abscess – Do not ignore swelling or pus. An abscess can lead to serious infection if untreated.
