Emergency Visits

Dental emergencies can happen, and often do when you least expect them. You can crack a tooth by biting into a sandwich, for example, or you can lose a filling right before giving an important speech.

Emergency visits are necessary for dental problems that are painful, cause swelling or fever, involve a broken, missing or cracked tooth, or that cause bleeding in the tongue or lips.

When Should I Seek Emergency Dental Care?

Dr. Haggerty suggests you make an emergency visit with Leisure Dental whenever a dental problem appears that is especially painful or involves the loss of part of a tooth or an entire tooth.   

  • A toothache: Seek dental care as soon as you feel discomfort or pain
  • Broken, chipped or cracked teeth: If the tooth was broken, wrap any remnants in a wet gauze or wet towel and bring them with you
  • Loosened or knocked out teeth: Contact Leisure Dental right away if you have a loosened tooth; try reinserting a knocked out tooth then contact Leisure Dental immediately
  • Bitten tongue or lip: Clean the area with a wet cloth and hold a cold compress to the affected area; contact Leisure Dental immediately for excessive or persistent bleeding

For other dental emergencies and medical emergencies, call 911.
