Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth,
dental abscesses, facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, painful lost crowns
or fillings, and injuries involving the teeth or gums. If you are unsure whether
your situation is an emergency, contact Lumen Dental in Tysons Corner so our
team can help determine how quickly you should be seen.
Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment?
Whenever possible, we offer same-day emergency dental appointments for patients
experiencing dental pain, broken teeth, infections, or other urgent dental
concerns. Calling our office as early as possible gives us the best opportunity
to accommodate you that day.
Should I go to the emergency room for a toothache?
Most toothaches are best treated by a dentist rather than an emergency room.
Emergency departments may help manage pain or swelling, but they usually cannot
provide definitive dental treatment such as fillings, root canals, crowns, or
extractions. Seek immediate medical attention for severe facial swelling,
difficulty breathing, or uncontrolled bleeding.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Pick up the permanent tooth by the crown rather than the root. Gently rinse it
with clean water if necessary and try to place it back into the socket without
forcing it. If that is not possible, place the tooth in milk or a tooth
preservation solution and contact our office immediately. Treatment within the
first hour may improve the chance of saving the tooth.
What should I do if I break or crack a tooth?
A broken or cracked tooth should be evaluated as soon as possible, even if the
discomfort seems minor. Cracks can worsen and may allow bacteria to reach the
inner portion of the tooth. Depending on the severity, treatment may include
dental bonding, a crown, or root canal therapy.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost?
The cost depends on the cause of the emergency and the treatment required.
During your visit, we will examine the affected area, explain your treatment
options, and provide a clear estimate before beginning recommended care. Lumen
Dental accepts most PPO dental insurance plans and will help you maximize your
available benefits.
Will I need a root canal if my tooth hurts?
Not every toothache requires root canal treatment. Tooth pain may be caused by
decay, a cracked tooth, gum inflammation, bite pressure, or infection. After a
clinical examination and any necessary digital X-rays, we will identify the
cause and recommend the most conservative appropriate treatment.
