Do You Need Emergency Dental Care?
You may need to see an emergency dentist if your tooth is:
- Chipped or broken
- Sensitive to cold or heat
- Sensitive when you bite or chew
- Constantly throbbing or hurting
- Causing swelling around your face, jaw, or gums
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, contact us right away. Dr. Corbyn Rhodes or Dr. Angela Windsor can evaluate the problem and recommend the next step to help relieve your discomfort.
Why You Should Not Ignore Tooth Pain
Tooth pain can be a sign of a deeper dental problem, such as decay, infection, a cracked tooth, a damaged filling, or an injured nerve. In some cases, bacteria can enter the tooth and spread, leading to infection, swelling, and more serious health concerns.
Waiting too long can make treatment more complex and may increase the risk of needing a root canal, extraction, or more extensive restorative care. If your pain is severe, constant, or accompanied by swelling, it is time to call an emergency dentist.
Call 405-751-6996 for emergency dental care in Oklahoma City, OK.
Chipped or Broken Tooth
If your tooth is chipped or broken, even if it is not painful, it should still be evaluated. A small fracture can worsen over time, especially when biting or chewing places pressure on the tooth.
Depending on the severity of the chip or break, the tooth may be repaired with a dental filling, dental crown, or another restorative treatment. The image shows a broken tooth with an old silver-mercury filling that was restored with a tooth-colored crown.
Throbbing Tooth Pain or Dental Infection
A constantly hurting or throbbing tooth may mean the tooth is infected. Swelling in the face, gums, or jaw can also be a warning sign of infection. An infected tooth can become serious, and timely treatment is important.
Depending on the condition of the tooth, treatment may include a root canal, a dental crown, or an extraction. The before x-ray shows infection at the bottom of the tooth roots, while the after x-ray shows the tooth repaired with a root canal and crown.

Emergency Dentist FAQ
What is emergency dental care?
Emergency dental care is urgent treatment for dental problems that need prompt attention, such as severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, swelling, infection, or an injury. The goal is to relieve discomfort, diagnose the problem, and prevent the issue from getting worse.
When should I call an emergency dentist?
You should call an emergency dentist if you have severe tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, pain when biting, signs of infection, or dental pain that does not go away. If you are unsure, it is better to call and ask.
Can a broken tooth be repaired?
Many broken teeth can be repaired, depending on the severity of the damage. Treatment may include a tooth-colored filling, dental crown, root canal, or another restorative option. An exam and X-ray can help determine the best treatment.
What should I do if my face or jaw is swollen?
Swelling can be a sign of dental infection and should be taken seriously. Call our office right away so we can help you determine the next step. If swelling affects your breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care immediately.
