Is Your Issue a Dental Emergency?
When an unexpected issue arises in your mouth, it can be incredibly difficult to determine whether you need to seek immediate medical intervention or if the problem can safely wait for a routine scheduling slot.
Use this checklist to assess how serious your condition is and identify the urgent steps to protect your health.
Urgent Symptoms Requiring Immediate Care:
- A tooth pain emergency — throbbing, sharp, or worsening pain that keeps you up at night
- A knocked-out or badly loosened tooth
- Swelling of the face or jaw, especially with fever (a possible sign of infection needing urgent attention)
- A tooth broken to the point of exposed nerve or visible pulp
- Heavy or uncontrolled bleeding after an injury
Can Typically Wait for a Regular Visit:
- A small chip with no pain or sensitivity
- A lost filling with mild or no discomfort
- Minor food impaction that flossing resolves
When deciding whether to search for an emergency dentist near you, consider the severity, duration, and progression of your symptoms. Severe or worsening pain, swelling, infection, trauma, or significant bleeding should not be ignored simply because the dental problem started recently.

Emergency First Aid: What to Do Before Your Visit
For Severe Toothaches
Rinse your mouth thoroughly with warm salt water to flush out debris. Use over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen as directed, but never place an aspirin tablet directly against your aching gums, as this causes severe chemical burns on your soft tissue.
For a Knocked-Out Tooth
Gently pick up the tooth by the crown, avoiding the root. Rinse if dirty, then try reinserting it facing the correct way. If impossible, store in milk or warm saliva to preserve cells while heading to our office.
For Facial Swelling
Apply a cold compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to the outside of your cheek for 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off. This helps minimize swelling and numbs deep nerve pain.

Frequently asked questions
Before you get to our Chicago dental office, there are steps you can take to help yourself in a dental emergency.
Tooth Pain
If you have a toothache, try using a cold compress on and off the affected area for 20-minute intervals. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen or Advil. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water can reduce inflammation and loosen food particles stuck between your teeth.
Jaw Pain or Swelling
Jaw pain or swelling indicates a serious problem like a dental abscess or tooth infection. Take an OTC pain reliever and use a cold compress to minimize swelling. Call us right away.
Broken Tooth
A broken tooth may not be an urgent dental emergency unless you are in pain or the break has left behind jagged edges. Call and let us know what’s happening, and we will provide further guidance.
Lost Dental Crown or Filling
If a dental crown comes off, try to place it on the tooth again; if you can’t, wrap it in tissue and bring it to your appointment at Wicker Park Dental Group.
For a lost tooth filling, we will need to replace it as possible to prevent further damage and help you avoid discomfort.
Dental Trauma
A knocked-out tooth is extremely time-sensitive as we have about two hours to reimplant it in your jaw successfully. Handle the tooth by the crown only, and do not touch the root! Try to reinsert the tooth gently in the socket; if you can’t, place it in a container of milk or saliva to keep it moist.
Call us so we can prepare for your arrival and have a friend drive you safely to our dental office.
