What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is a situation that requires prompt care to relieve pain or prevent it from getting worse.
Even if some pain may seem tolerable at first, it can progress quickly. It’s therefore recommended that you come in as soon as you notice unusual symptoms.
Issues we treat as emergencies
At Boca Dental Clinic, we can respond quickly to several types of dental emergencies.
Toothache
A toothache can be caused by a cavity, an infection, or inflammation of the nerve.
- Persistent or throbbing pain
- Significant sensitivity to hot or cold
- Pain that keeps you up at night
An assessment identifies the cause and quickly relieves the pain.
Cracked or broken tooth
An injury or biting into something hard can damage a tooth.
- Tooth partially or fully broken
- Sensitivity or pain while chewing
- Sharp edge or discomfort
Depending on the situation, different solutions may be offered to restore the tooth.
Dental abscess
An abscess is an infection that can cause pain and swelling.
- Intense pain
- Swelling of the gum or face
- Presence of pus
- Bad taste in the mouth
This situation requires prompt treatment.
Gum pain
Inflammation or infection of the gums can cause significant discomfort.

Treatment controls the inflammation and prevents it from progressing.
Lost or broken restoration
A crown, filling or other restoration can come loose or break.

A quick repair protects the tooth.
What to do while you wait for your appointment
A few measures can help limit discomfort:

- Take pain medication if needed
Avoid applying heat directly to the area and avoid touching the tooth.
