What to do in case of a dental emergency? Need to see an emergency dentist?

When you’re dealing with a dental issue or an oral injury, it’s important to know whether you truly need emergency dental care. Not all dental problems are urgent. A knocked-out tooth, a toothache, a chipped tooth, or pain around a dental crown can be serious issues, but they don’t always require immediate intervention. It’s best to assess your options carefully.

While you wait for your emergency dental appointment, here are a few tips that might help. These tips are not a diagnosis and do not replace your dentist’s advice.

For any diagnosis, please schedule an appointment with Endodontie Louise: +32 2 354 44 69

Is a toothache considered a dental emergency ?

A toothache should be taken seriously, but it doesn’t always require immediate dental care. It can be an early sign of a more serious issue and may lead to more severe dental problems if left untreated. If the pain is manageable, a few painkillers can help you get through the night or the weekend. However, if the pain becomes unbearable, it could be an abscess that needs urgent treatment. Call us as soon as you feel dental pain — together, we’ll determine whether it’s an emergency.

Our receptionists are available at +32 2 354 44 69 or via info@endodontielouise.be

What are the most common dental emergencies ?

Severe toothaches, injuries where a tooth or multiple teeth have been broken, and infected dental abscesses are some examples of possible dental emergencies. If you’ve suffered an injury or trauma to the mouth involving broken or missing teeth, cuts, or other damage,

please contact us as soon as possible at +32 2 354 44 69 or via info@endodontielouise.be

In addition to toothaches and other dental issues, a dentist can also help treat:

  • A chipped tooth
  • A knocked-out tooth
  • Pain around a dental crown
  • A broken tooth
  • A dental abscess

These may not always qualify as dental emergencies, but they should still be treated as soon as possible.

What causes dental emergencies ?

Playing sports, cycling, car accidents, workplace injuries, eating something hard that cracks or chips a tooth, or even a fall can all lead to oral injuries that may require emergency dental care.

Infections can also lead to severe toothaches or dental abscesses which, if left untreated, can become serious problems. If painkillers no longer work, if you’re unable to sleep, if the pain becomes unbearable, or if there’s a painful abscess, you should contact the Endodontie Louise clinic immediately for emergency care. The primary goal is to relieve and then eliminate the pain.

If we are unavailable, please contact the emergency services at the nearest hospital.

How do I know if my problem is an emergency ?

Not all dental issues require urgent care. However, if one or more teeth have been completely broken, if you’ve suffered an oral injury, or if you’re experiencing a very painful dental abscess, these are situations that should be treated as quickly as possible.

Serious injuries or dental problems can lead to even more severe complications if not addressed immediately. On the other hand, a lost filling or a slightly chipped tooth can usually wait until your dentist has an available appointment — but always ask your dentist for advice on what steps to take.

Can’t sleep? Is the pain unbearable? (Triggered by sugar, cold, or heat?)

An infection can lead to a severe toothache or a dental abscess, which, if left untreated, can become serious. If painkillers no longer help, if you can’t sleep, if the pain is unbearable, or if you have a painful abscess, you should contact the Endodontie Louise clinic immediately at +32 2 354 44 69 . The first goal is to relieve and then eliminate the pain.

If we are unavailable, please contact the emergency services at the nearest hospital.

Did you lose a tooth ?

It’s important to see your dentist urgently, as a recently knocked-out tooth is still alive.
When picking up the tooth, make sure not to touch the root.
If the tooth is dirty, rinse it with a saltwater solution and try to place it back into its socket.
Do not rinse it with tap water.
Once the tooth is back in place, bite down gently on something moist while you make your way to the dentist — this helps preserve it.
If the tooth doesn’t go back in easily, don’t force it. Instead, place it between your cheek and your teeth until you reach the dental office.

Call the Endodontie Louise clinic immediately at +32 2 354 44 69.
If it’s during regular office hours, we’ll try to see you within 24 to 48 hours.
Outside office hours, send us your contact information by email (info@endodontielouise.be) and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Bit your tongue or lip ?

Use a clean cloth to apply light pressure for 10 minutes to help reduce or stop the bleeding. If the area is swollen, apply a cold compress to relieve it.

Contact us at +32 2 354 44 69. if the bleeding doesn’t stop.

Bleeding gums ?

Gently brush your teeth with an ultra-soft toothbrush and a mild toothpaste.
Food debris and plaque can irritate the gums and cause bleeding.
Bleeding should subside within a few days once plaque is removed with gentle brushing.

Contact us if the bleeding persists: +32 2 354 44 69
