Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions

A dental emergency is any issue that requires urgent care to stop bleeding, alleviate severe dental pain, or save a knocked-out tooth. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to call. Our emergency dentist team at Laurich Dentistry is always here with compassionate, expert care.

Sudden Pain, Swelling, or Infection

Severe toothaches, facial swelling, or fever can signal an infection that needs urgent treatment to prevent it from spreading.

Broken or Knocked-Out Teeth

A knocked-out, chipped, or broken tooth requires urgent care to avoid permanent damage or tooth loss.

Injuries to Gums, Lips, or Jaw

Trauma to soft tissues or jaw pain after an accident may require emergency care to prevent complications.

Severe Toothache or Abscess

We treat toothaches caused by deep decay, abscesses, or injury, often using root canal therapy or antibiotics to relieve pain and eliminate infection.

Broken or Lost Crowns and Fillings

When a crown or filling falls out, it leaves your tooth vulnerable to damage or decay. We restore it quickly to protect your smile.

Knocked-Out (Avulsed) Tooth

If your tooth is knocked out, time is critical. We may be able to reimplant it successfully if you reach us within the hour.

Chipped or Fractured Tooth

Small chips can be smoothed or bonded; larger fractures may require a crown or more extensive treatment to preserve the tooth.

Store and Protect Broken Pieces or Teeth

If a tooth is knocked out, place it in milk or saline. Bring any broken pieces to your appointment for possible repair or reattachment.

Control Pain and Swelling at Home

Apply a cold compress to the area, take over-the-counter pain relievers, and avoid chewing on the affected side until you’re seen by our emergency dentist.

In many cases, yes. Most dental insurance plans provide some level of coverage for emergency exams and necessary treatment. Before any treatment begins, our team will perform a complimentary benefits check to help you understand your coverage and estimate any out-of-pocket costs.

Laurich Dentistry offers 12 months of interest-free financing, as well as long-term, low-interest payment plans through CareCredit and Cherry Financing. Our team can even help you apply while you’re in the office, so you can focus on getting out of pain and back to feeling your best.
