Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them—and they can be overwhelming if you don’t know what to do. Whether you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, or sudden swelling, having a clear plan of action can help you stay calm and protect your health. At Tooth Fairy Mobile Dental Service, we specialize in bringing expert dental care directly to you, so you don’t have to leave your home during a stressful moment. If you’re facing a dental emergency, don’t hesitate to call us at 855-757-6453 to speak with our team and get help from our mobile dental provider.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental issue is an emergency, but some problems require immediate attention to avoid long-term damage or infection. Here are the most common dental emergencies we see:
-
Severe or persistent toothaches
-
Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
-
Knocked-out teeth
-
Swelling in the face, gums, or jaw
-
Dental abscesses (infections that appear as swollen, pus-filled areas)
-
Bleeding that won’t stop
-
Lost fillings, crowns, or dental appliances that impact comfort or function
If you’re experiencing any of the above, it’s important to act quickly and reach out for professional care.
What You Can Do Before We Arrive
Before the Tooth Fairy Mobile Dental Service team gets to you, there are a few steps you can take to minimize discomfort and protect the affected area:
-
For severe pain: Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on your gums as this may cause irritation.
-
For a broken or chipped tooth: Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and save any pieces.
-
For a knocked-out tooth: Handle it by the crown (top), not the root. Rinse it lightly if dirty, and if you can, place it back in the socket. If not, store it in milk or your saliva.
-
For visible infection or abscess: Do not attempt to drain or pop it. Use warm salt water rinses to keep the area clean and call us right away.
These steps are meant to stabilize the situation while you wait for mobile care. The sooner you receive treatment, the better the outcome.

When to Seek Hospital Care Instead
While we handle a wide range of dental emergencies, some cases require immediate attention at a hospital emergency room. These include:
-
Bleeding that doesn’t stop after 15 minutes of pressure
-
Swelling that makes it difficult to breathe or swallow
-
High fever with chills, which may indicate a serious infection
-
Head or neck trauma following an accident
If you’re unsure whether to call us or go directly to the ER, feel free to contact our team first. We’ll help guide you on the best course of action.
Preventing Future Emergencies
Prevention is always better than cure. Here are a few tips to reduce the risk of future dental emergencies:
-
Maintain routine dental checkups—even when nothing hurts
-
Wear a mouthguard during sports or high-impact activities
-
Avoid chewing hard objects like ice, pens, or hard candy
-
Brush and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy
-
Don’t ignore minor discomfort—early intervention can prevent serious issues
