When You Might Need Emergency Dental Work

Urgent dental work can be needed for fractured teeth, severe toothaches, infections, or missing fillings and crowns. The first step is an examination to identify the cause and treatment options.

Important: If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding, seek emergency medical care immediately.

How we can help

Common Types of Urgent Dental Work in Keene

Dental Work for a Painful Tooth

A painful tooth may need treatment for decay, nerve irritation, or infection. An examination helps determine which dental procedure is appropriate.

Dental Work for Chipped or Broken Teeth

A chipped or fractured tooth may need protection or restoration. The recommended work depends on the damage and the condition of the remaining tooth.

Urgent Care for a Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out permanent tooth is time sensitive. Call immediately and keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva while seeking emergency care.

Dental Treatment for Abscesses and Infection

A dental abscess can cause swelling, fever, and significant discomfort. Treatment may involve addressing the infection and its underlying source.

Emergency Work for Lost Fillings or Crowns

When a filling, crown, or bridge comes loose, dental work may be needed to cover exposed areas and restore function.
