Know the Signs

What Is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any pain or discomfort that you cannot treat on your own. This includes extreme toothaches, a knocked-out tooth, excessive bleeding, or even past dental work (such as fillings or crowns) that have come loose or fallen out. In these situations, seeing a dentist right away is imperative in order to get you out of pain and ensure that your damaged tooth can be saved. Call us at (303) 832-4867 to schedule an appointment in Denver.

Be Prepared

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

The most important thing to remember in a dental emergency is to remain calm. Call us immediately for a same-day appointment, and the team at Poulos and Somers will book your visit as soon as possible. If your tooth has been knocked out, keep it moist by placing it in your mouth between your cheek and gums. To relieve any pain while before your appointment, use a cold compress or over-the-counter medicine such as ibuprofen. Note that aspirin should NOT be used, because it prevents proper blood clotting.

Preserve Your Smile

Loose Or Knocked-Out Teeth

If you have a tooth that is loose or knocked-out due to dental trauma, it’s important to get treatment right away so it can be splinted immediately. Without splinting your tooth within 2 hours, it may be impossible to save. If you think your tooth is loose due to severe gum disease, the dentists at Poulos & Somers can help with specialized periodontal care.

If your tooth has been knocked-out, follow these steps to ensure optimal results at your emergency appointment:

  • Recover your tooth. Be sure to touch it only by the crown.
  • If necessary, rinse the tooth gently with warm water.
  • Replace the tooth in its socket, if possible. If not, put it in a baggie of cold milk. This will keep the root of your tooth alive to give our team a better chance of saving it.
  • Contact us for an appointment immediately. Your tooth must be re-implanted within 1-2 hours for it to be saved.

Get Help For

Pulled-Out Or Damaged Dental Work

Dental work, such as fillings or crowns, can sometimes be pulled out by eating certain gummy foods, or as the result of dental trauma. If this happens, contact us for an appointment right away to have your dental work replaced. If possible, recover the filling or crown and put it in a plastic bag. Sometimes, pieces of dental work can simply be bonded back onto your tooth to protect it.

Treatment For

Bleeding Gums and Lacerations

Serious gum bleeding can be a sign of advanced periodontal disease, which demands immediate treatment. Your gums, lips, cheeks and tongue could also bleed severely if oral trauma has damaged them. Most minor cuts will stop bleeding after an hour or so. If your bleeding does not stop or you suspect large cuts or major oral trauma, you may need stitches. Come to our Denver office right away for help.

Treating Toothaches

Infected Teeth

Toothaches can be a serious dental emergency, particularly if they last more than a few days. Persistent toothaches usually indicate an infected tooth, which requires treatment with root canal therapy. If you don’t get treatment, your pain will only get worse and once too much damage is done, you may require an extraction and a replacement tooth.

If you’re experiencing any kind of dental emergency in Denver, it is critical to get same-day care right away. This is the only way to get relief from your pain and discomfort, and prevent further complications. If you fail to get appropriate treatment in time, your condition will only get worse.

Best experience with any type of medical practitioner probably ever. Dr Somers is quick, efficient, and kind and did a great job with my gum graft.

Mason N.

The staff are all very nice, super professional, clear and patient. The lead surgeon who did my gum graft did an excellent job, explained everything well and made me feel exceptionally well cared for. I highly recommend this team.

Brendan D.

I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Marshall. Not only is she exceptional at what she does, she is also very kind and compassionate.

DeAnn L.

They were amazing. I’ve had gum grafting done before and this experience was by far the best one I’ve had. Great care and a much quicker recovery than previous surgeries.

Kevin S.

Let's face it, dental work is no fun for anyone. If you need specialist work, this team is who you want on your side! Dr. Marshall and the entire team are truly fantastic!
