Recognizing the Need for Emergency Dental Care

Knowing when to seek emergency dental treatment is crucial for preventing further damage and alleviating severe pain. While not every dental issue is an emergency, certain symptoms warrant immediate attention. These include:

  • Severe Toothache: A sudden, intense, or persistent toothache that doesn’t subside with over-the-counter pain relievers can indicate a serious underlying issue, such as an infection or nerve damage.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth: If a tooth has been completely dislodged from its socket due to trauma, immediate action is critical for the best chance of saving the tooth.
  • Chipped or Broken Tooth: While some chips are minor, a significant break that causes pain, exposes the nerve, or creates sharp edges can be an emergency.
  • Loose Tooth: An adult tooth that suddenly becomes loose after an injury or without apparent cause needs treatment quickly.
  • Abscess or Swelling: A painful, pus-filled swelling around a tooth or in the gums indicates an infection that can spread rapidly and affect overall health.
  • Lost Filling or Crown (with pain): If a filling or crown falls out and causes pain or sensitivity, or leaves the tooth vulnerable, it should be addressed promptly.
  • Injury to Gums, Lips, or Tongue: Lacerations, punctures, or severe bleeding in the soft tissues of the mouth can be urgent and require a dental professional.

If you experience any of these symptoms in Eau Claire, it’s important to contact Hebert Dental immediately.

"My mother is in a memory care facility and her dentist was 60 mi away, they were kind enough to get her in and fix her tooth and we were well taken care, they were polite courteous and explained everything to us. They found a way to fit her in and take care of her problem tooth. Thank you, they were all great to work with and took very good care of my 92 yr old mom."
