Common Dental Emergencies
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Dental emergencies vary in severity, but knowing how to act quickly can minimize damage and relieve discomfort. Below are some common dental emergencies we treat and what you can do while waiting to see us.
Toothache
What to do: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. If swelling occurs, apply a cold compress to the outside of your face. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the affected tooth or gum.
Why it matters: Toothaches can be caused by cavities, gum disease, or infections. Immediate care can prevent the problem from worsening and causing more severe pain.
Knocked-Out Tooth
What to do: Pick up the tooth by the crown (avoid touching the root). Rinse it gently with water. If possible, place the tooth back into its socket. If not, store it in milk or a saline solution.
Why it matters: Acting quickly can greatly increase the chances of saving the tooth. Call our office immediately for an emergency appointment.
Cracked Tooth
What to do: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on the affected side to prevent further damage.
Why it matters: A cracked tooth can lead to further complications if not addressed quickly, potentially causing infection or more severe pain.
Lost Filling or Crown
What to do: If a filling falls out, use dental wax or sugar-free gum to cover the exposed area. For a lost crown, try to replace it on the tooth using a temporary dental adhesive.
Why it matters: Without proper protection, the exposed tooth is vulnerable to decay and further damage. Call us right away to have it restored.
Abscessed Tooth
What to do: An abscess is an infection that requires immediate attention. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help alleviate discomfort, but do not attempt to pop the abscess.
Why it matters: An untreated abscess can spread infection, potentially causing serious health complications. Immediate care is essential to prevent this.
Chipped Tooth
What to do: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the affected area. If you find any broken pieces of the tooth, save them and bring them with you to your appointment.
Why it matters: If left untreated, a chipped tooth can lead to infection or more serious damage. Prompt attention is key to preventing further issues.
What Our Patients Are Saying
I totally reccommend Dr. Jabbar...This dental office is run by Dr. Jabbar and his wife. They were very kind to me. I went into office with teeth fractures of 2 teeth. Dr. Jabbar did a very very thorough assessment and took images to identify exactly what teeth were injured. Not always clear to see just by looking in the mouth. He did a great job. I had to make an appointment to see an Oral surgeon because 1 of 2 teeth that needs to be extracted is very close to my sinus cavity which if not removed carefully can injure my sinus cavity... so..an Oral Surgeon it shall be. Very happy with my visit.
I Visited Dr. Jabbar On Monday The 29th Of September. Dr. Jabbar Is Amazing!!! I Need A Tooth Extraction & The Process Of A First Consultation Was Excellent. I Am Very Glad To Have Found Him. I Called Dr. Jabbar Sunday & Left Him A Message. I Did Not Expect A Call Back Because It Was Kind Of Late, But To My Surprise I Received A Call Back Within 10 Minutes. My Worries Were Over. He Went Through The Extraction Procedure & Also Gave Me Options. He Is A True Professional.The Receptionist Was Very Polite & Professional. The Office Is Very Nice Inside & It Is A Great Location Close To The Metra For Those Who Can Use The Transportation. Dr. Jabbar Is A Super Dentist & Most Importantly A Kind Human Being. I Recommend This Dental Facility To All. It Was A Great Experience!!! Thank You Dr. Jabbar. I Had Called A Week Later Concerned About My Extraction, I Visited His Office, He Took Care Of The Problem Flushing The Extracted Are & Filling Out A Prescription For A Antibiotic. He Did All This No Charge, He Is A Living, Walking Genius & A Master At His Craft!!! Once Again, Dr. Jabbar Has Pulled Me Out Of The Fire. Thank U Dr. Jabbar & Thanks 2 Ur Wife Being Professional, Kind & Caring. What A Great Duo U 2 Make!!! Kudos 2 U Both!!!
Took my 3 year old daughter for a teeth cleaning and consultation. My child is deathly afraid of healthcare professionals and refuses to let anyone come near her. Dr. Jabbar put on a whole show and tell for her, made everything look silly and fun that she excitedly opened her mouth for the cleaning and loved getting her X-rays done. We had zero tears and all smiles. We left with a cool toy and a certificate for a job well done. Truly touched by that!
I went in with a serious pain and ended up getting a root canal done. Unlike my last dentist this experience was way more comfortable and alot less painfull. Seems like they are new and they are doing everything to ensure your experience is pleasant. Dr. Jabber and the all the other staff was very helpful and friendly...will recommend them forward 👌
I brought my mother in law here for an emergency appointment as she was experiencing severe pain. We were greeted by Erum at the desk who was very kind and courteous and explained all the paperwork very well. Dr. Jabbar then greeted us and upon doing a thorough evaluation, took his time to explain to us what the issue was and made recommendations. We then returned the following week to follow through with his recommendation. Dr. Jabbar and Erum are very knowledgeable, make a great team and run the practice exceptionally well. I highly recommend AJ Dental for all your dental needs!
Dr. Jabbar and his receptionist are very welcoming. They are well organized and knowledgeable. Dr. Jabbar takes extra care to ask how you’re doing to make sure you experience little to no pain. They spend time with you and make sure that you understand the procedures. The office is clean and tidy. Highly recommend.
