What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any oral health situation that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, prevent infection, or save a tooth. The longer you wait, the more complex — and costly — the treatment can become. When in doubt, call our office and we will help you determine how urgently you need to be seen.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat in Woodland
Severe Toothache
Persistent pain that interferes with eating, sleeping, or daily life. Often signals an infection, deep decay, or abscess that needs prompt treatment.
Chipped, Cracked or Broken Tooth
Especially urgent when painful, bleeding, or a large piece of the tooth is missing. The sooner it is treated, the better the outcome.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is critical. A completely dislodged tooth needs care within 30 to 60 minutes to have the best chance of being re-implanted successfully.
Dental Abscess or Infection
Swelling, fever, pus, or a persistent bad taste can indicate a serious infection that may spread quickly if not treated.
Bleeding That Won't Stop
Excessive bleeding following trauma or a dental procedure that lasts more than 10 to 15 minutes requires urgent attention.
Lost Filling, Crown or Bridge
Can expose sensitive tooth structure and cause significant discomfort. Call our office to assess urgency and schedule a repair.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Cuts or lacerations to the lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums that will not stop bleeding should be evaluated by a dental professional promptly.
Jaw Pain or Locking
Sudden inability to open or close your mouth properly — particularly after trauma — always warrants a prompt dental evaluation.
What To Do Before You Reach Our Office
Step 1 - Call Our Office Right Away
Call (530) 406-1730 as soon as possible. We will assess your situation over the phone and schedule you at the earliest available appointment.
Step 2 — Knocked-Out Tooth — Handle With Care
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently with water without scrubbing. Try placing it back in the socket, or store it in cold milk until you arrive.
Step 3 — Toothache or Swelling — Manage Discomfort
Take ibuprofen as directed for pain. Apply a cold compress to your cheek in 20-minute intervals. Do not place aspirin directly against the gum.
Step 4 — Bleeding — Apply Steady Pressure
Press clean gauze firmly against the area for 15 to 20 minutes. If bleeding continues, go to an emergency room while contacting our office.
Step 5 — Lost Crown or Filling — Protect the Tooth
Apply over-the-counter dental cement as a temporary fix. Do not use household glue. Call us to arrange a same-week repair appointment.

Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently with water without scrubbing. If possible, place it back in the socket. If not, store it in cold milk or between your cheek and gum. Call us immediately — the best chance of saving the tooth is within 30 to 60 minutes of the injury.
An emergency exam with X-rays typically ranges from $50 to $200. Additional treatment costs vary depending on what is needed. SpringLake Dental accepts most major insurance and offers CareCredit financing. Our team will discuss estimated costs before beginning any treatment.
Mild tooth sensitivity may be able to wait for a routine appointment. However, severe or persistent toothache — particularly with swelling, fever, or a bad taste — is a dental emergency. These symptoms often indicate an infection or abscess that can worsen quickly without treatment.
Hospital emergency rooms can prescribe medication for pain and infection but are not equipped to perform dental procedures. For broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, or abscesses, you need to see a dentist. Call SpringLake Dental first. If you are experiencing difficulty breathing or severe throat swelling, call 911 immediately.
