Do you need answers to questions concerning a dental emergency, dental procedure, or oral hygiene? Use our "Ask The Dentist" service to get answers to the most frequently asked dental questions. Read our collection of questions & answers below from top contributing dentists around the U.S.

Submit A Question
dentist with arms folded and happy to help emergency dental service
  • What should you do if you have a broken, chipped, or knocked out tooth?

    Injuries can happen at any given time of the day and most of the time you will not have the ability to prepare for them. If you have a broken tooth, chipped tooth, fractured tooth, or a tooth gets knocked out, it’s important to know the first step to take after the injury.

    The most important step after your injury is to find an emergency dentist that you can inform and that will provide advice on how to minimize the pain from your injury. Using a resource like Emergency Dental Service will give you several dental providers to choose from in your local area that can provide emergency dental care for your tooth within 24 hours....

  • When will you need a tooth extraction & will it hurt?

    There are several reasons that can lead to your tooth being extracted which include: tooth infection, tooth decay, not visiting a dentist on a regular basis, making room for permanent teeth, to prepare for braces, and to remove broken or badly damaged teeth.

    Once a dentist determines that a tooth needs to be removed/extracted, a plan will be created in order to map out the best way to remove the tooth without affecting any other area in your month. The procedure is usually painless based on the dentist numbing the area in the month around the extraction....

    Read More
  • How long does it take to ease the pain after a root canal procedure?

    A root canal performed by a dentist cleans out the inside of the tooth and seals it from bacteria so your body can fight the infection and heal. You can compare the healing process to removing a splinter from an infected finger so the finger can heal.

    That infected area of the jaw below a tooth can be sore up to a year after a root canal is performed. One more reason your tooth may be hurting is that root canals are only 80-90% successful within the first 5 years....

    Read More
  • How often do fillings need to be replaced?

    Here are some good reasons that will signal an alarm for you to get your fillings replaced: • Signs of Decay: On a closer inspection of your afflicted area, signs of decay become more visible and such should make you visit our office immediately. Decay can cause further damage if not treated appropriately.

    As bacteria finds a loophole to enter your oral system it would eventually increase and multiply at great pace before it can be stopped. • Chipping or Cracking: Though they may not pose a serious nature to many, but when fillings tend to crack or chip then its best they are replaced....

  • If Dry Mouth Causes Major Tooth Decay, Should I Get My Teeth Pulled?

    A lot of medicines have dry mouth as a side effect. as you know, dry mouth really increases your cavity risk. Here is how I would look at this- if the cavities are not too big/deep, then I would fix them.

    If the cavities get deep into the tooth or under the gums to the bone level, then fixing even with a root canal + crowns becomes difficult. A full set of dentures with dry mouth can also have problems....

Common Dental Emergencies

A dental emergency is often something that most people are unprepared for. When faced with an unexpected dental situation, it’s important to understand the most common dental emergencies and what you can do at home before you see an emergency dentist. Once your tooth pain is at a manageable level, the next step is finding a dentist near you that is available to take care of your emergency using a trusted resource like Emergency Dental Service.

illustrated tooth extraction

Tooth Extraction

When a tooth has damage, is broken, or has decay most dentists will try to fix the tooth with the normal dental crown or filling. There are times when the normal preventive maintenance will not repair a tooth and the tooth has too much damage to be repaired and therefore has to be extracted. The extraction will remove the tooth from its socket in the bone.

Learn More
illustrated tooth abscess

Abscess Tooth

An abscessed tooth is an infection that has occurred on or around the gums in the month. Usually a dental abscess will form between the gum and tooth or sometimes near the root of the tooth. The infection is treatable and can take up to 2 weeks to heal once seen by a medical professional. Tooth abscess will occur inside the tooth when the tooth’s nerve starts dying or is dead.

Learn More
illustrated chipped tooth

Chipped Tooth

A chipped or broken tooth can be fixed very quickly as long as you see an emergency dentist immediately. Once you have an appointment secured, make sure to bring in the broken piece of your tooth with you (if you can’t find it then a partial can be put in its place). Most dentist recommend to keep the tooth in warm milk or water until you get to their office.
