What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
If you are experiencing any of the following, please contact us so the case can be assessed promptly.
Severe Toothache
Persistent, severe pain not relieved by over-the-counter painkillers.
Broken/Cracked Tooth
Tooth fracture following trauma or biting on a hard object.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Avulsed tooth. Time is an important factor, so contact a dentist promptly.
Facial Swelling
Swelling that may indicate an infection or abscess and requires prompt assessment.
Dental Trauma
Injury to the teeth, gums or jaw following an accident or sports injury.
Lost Filling/Crown
A restoration has come out and the underlying tooth is exposed and sensitive.
First Aid for Dental Emergencies
These general first-aid steps can be followed while you arrange to reach a dentist. They do not replace a clinical examination.
For a Knocked-Out Tooth
- Pick up the tooth by the crown (white part), never by the root.
- If dirty, rinse gently with milk or saline — do not scrub or remove tissue.
- If possible, reinsert into the socket and hold it in place; otherwise store in milk or a saline solution.
- Contact a dentist immediately and attend as soon as possible.
For a Broken Tooth
- Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area.
- Save any broken pieces and bring them to the dental visit.
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling on the outside of the cheek.
- Call the dentist for an assessment and appointment.
For Severe Toothache
- Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to clean the area.
- Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek near the painful area.
- Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the label. Do not place aspirin on the gums.
- Contact the dentist, as persistent pain usually indicates an underlying dental cause.
For Facial Swelling
- Facial swelling may indicate a spreading dental infection and should not be ignored.
- Apply a cold compress to the swollen area from the outside.
- Avoid applying heat to the area, and do not place aspirin on the gum.
- Contact us promptly. If swelling affects breathing or swallowing, go to a hospital emergency department.
For Dental Trauma
- Apply firm but gentle pressure with clean gauze to control bleeding.
- Use a cold compress to reduce swelling and manage discomfort.
- Do not attempt to move or reposition a displaced tooth or jaw.
- Contact the dentist for a trauma assessment.
Why Timing Matters for a Knocked-Out Tooth
Published dental guidelines note that the outcome for an avulsed permanent tooth depends largely on how quickly it is replanted and how it is stored. The following are general guidelines — your dentist will assess the individual case.
Guidelines note that outcomes are generally more favourable when the tooth is replanted within about 30 minutes.
Replantation is generally still considered within this window, depending on storage conditions and the tooth.
After prolonged extra-oral time, the likelihood of successful replantation falls. Contact a dentist for advice either way.

Emergency Dentistry FAQs
Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently with milk or saline, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If you cannot, store it in milk or a saline solution and contact a dentist as soon as possible. Published guidelines indicate that replantation within about 30 minutes is generally associated with a more favourable outcome.
Rinse with warm salt water, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek, and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the label. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum. Contact us when the clinic opens, or immediately if the pain is severe.
Facial swelling can indicate a dental abscess or a spreading infection, which may become serious if it reaches the airway. Contact us promptly if you have swelling, particularly with fever or difficulty swallowing. If breathing or swallowing is affected, go to a hospital emergency department.
Hospital emergency departments can manage severe facial infections and trauma, but they usually do not have dental specialists available for tooth-specific emergencies such as replantation. For dental problems, a dental clinic with dental chairs, imaging and dental surgeons is the appropriate place for assessment and treatment.
The clinic is open on Sundays from 10AM to 2PM. If you call outside clinic hours and cannot reach us, please leave a message. For life-threatening situations such as severe swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
We are empanelled with CGHS, ECHS, ESI, EPFO and UP Police. Whether treatment can be claimed depends on your scheme terms and the type of treatment. Share your scheme details with our team and we will explain the process applicable to you.
Please bring a government-issued ID, your scheme or insurance card if applicable, a list of current medications, and any broken tooth fragments or a knocked-out tooth stored in milk. If you have dental X-rays from an earlier visit, bring those as well.
