What to Do in a Dental Emergency

When you’re dealing with a dental emergency, knowing what to do in the moment can make all the difference. Here are some tips for handling common dental emergencies:

• Knocked-Out Tooth: Try to place the tooth back into its socket if possible. If not, keep it moist by placing it in milk or a tooth preservation product, and call us right away for immediate assistance.
• Severe Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water, and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid putting aspirin on the tooth or gums as it can cause damage. Schedule an emergency appointment with us as soon as possible.‍
• Broken Crown or Filling: Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth until you can visit us. We can repair or replace the restoration quickly to prevent further damage.

In any dental emergency, it’s important to contact Berthoud Dental Care immediately for prompt care.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency in Berthoud, CO?

If you're experiencing a dental emergency, call Berthoud Dental Care at (970) 532-4209 right away. We offer same-day appointments so we can get you out of pain as quickly as possible. While you wait, keep any knocked-out tooth moist (ideally in milk or between your cheek and gum), avoid chewing on the affected side, and don't take aspirin directly on the gum tissue. The sooner you call, the more options we have to save your tooth.

What types of dental emergencies do you treat?

We treat a wide range of urgent dental situations, including severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns, cracked teeth, dental abscesses, and soft tissue injuries. Our team can also handle more complex urgent needs such as emergency root canals and tooth replacement with dental implants. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us — we're happy to help you decide.

How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?

We strive to see emergency patients the same day you call. If you're in severe pain or have experienced trauma to your mouth or teeth, call us first thing and we'll do everything we can to get you in immediately. Don't wait — dental emergencies rarely resolve on their own and can worsen quickly without treatment.

Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?

You can, but a hospital emergency room isn't usually the best option for dental pain. ERs can treat infection and manage pain with medication, but they typically can't perform dental procedures. You'll likely leave with a prescription but still need to see a dentist. Calling our office directly means you get actual dental treatment — not just temporary relief.

Is a toothache a dental emergency?

It can be. Mild sensitivity isn't always urgent, but a persistent or severe toothache — especially one accompanied by swelling, fever, or a bad taste in your mouth — can indicate an abscess or infection that needs immediate attention. When in doubt, call us. Left untreated, dental infections can spread and become a serious health risk.

What if I can't afford emergency dental care?

We believe cost shouldn't stop you from getting care when you're in pain. We work with most major dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment options. Call us at (970) 532-4209 and our team will walk you through your options before your appointment so there are no surprises.
