What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any issue involving your teeth, gums, or jaw that needs prompt attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or prevent further damage. Common emergencies include a knocked-out or loose tooth, severe toothache, swelling, abscesses, broken teeth, or uncontrolled bleeding after an injury or procedure. If you’re experiencing facial swelling, persistent pain, or signs of infection (such as fever), don’t wait. These conditions can worsen quickly. When in doubt, please call our office immediately so we can guide you and provide the care you need.

How do I handle a dental emergency?
A dental emergency can happen at any time, so knowing what to do can help protect your smile and reduce pain. If you have a knocked-out tooth, gently rinse it (don’t scrub), then place it back in the socket if possible. If this is not possible, store it in milk and call us immediately. For a broken tooth, rinse the area with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, contact your Majidian Dental team right away. Prompt care often makes all the difference.

What is a tooth abscess?
A dental abscess is a painful infection that forms when bacteria enter the tooth or gum tissue, often due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or advanced gum disease. It may cause swelling, sensitivity, fever, or a pimple-like bump on the gums. Treatment focuses on stopping the infection and relieving discomfort. Your dentist may drain the abscess, prescribe antibiotics, and recommend a root canal or tooth extraction if needed.
