Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency may include severe tooth pain, swelling, infection, a broken or chipped tooth, a knocked-out tooth, dental trauma, or a lost filling or crown causing discomfort. If symptoms are sudden, worsening, or affecting your ability to eat, speak, or rest, contact Wentworth Dental for guidance as soon as possible.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
Call Wentworth Dental as soon as possible so our team can help you determine the next step. Try to stay calm, avoid chewing on the affected side, and keep the area clean. If you have severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, facial trauma, or trouble breathing or swallowing, seek urgent medical attention right away.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown and avoid touching the root. If possible, gently place it back into the socket without forcing it. If that is not possible, keep it moist in milk and call Wentworth Dental right away for guidance. Acting quickly may improve the chance of saving the tooth.
Can a broken tooth wait?
A broken tooth should be assessed as soon as possible, especially if you have pain, sensitivity, sharp edges, swelling, or exposed inner tooth structure. Until your appointment, avoid chewing on that side and keep the area clean. Our team can assess the damage and explain whether a filling, crown, root canal therapy, or another treatment may be needed.
What should I do if I have swelling or signs of infection?
Swelling, pus, fever, throbbing pain, or a bad taste in the mouth may be signs of infection and should not be ignored. Contact Wentworth Dental for guidance as soon as possible. If swelling spreads to the face, jaw, or neck, or affects breathing or swallowing, seek urgent medical care immediately.
Will insurance cover emergency dental treatment?
Coverage for emergency dental treatment depends on your insurance plan, the treatment needed, and your remaining benefits. Wentworth Dental accepts most insurance providers and supports both assignment and non-assignment billing. Our team can help patients understand the information needed before treatment whenever possible.
Do not wait if you are dealing with tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or dental trauma. Wentworth Dental provides emergency dental care during office hours and as available to help patients take the next step with confidence.
