What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any issue involving your teeth, gums, or mouth that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, treat an infection, or prevent long-term damage. Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe or sudden toothaches
• Knocked-out or broken teeth
• Chipped teeth with pain or sharp edges
• Lost crowns, fillings, or bridges
• Gum or jaw swelling
• Dental abscesses (infections)
• Bleeding that won't stop

When in doubt, call our office. Our team can help determine whether you need immediate care.

Do I need to see an emergency dentist right away?

If you're experiencing significant pain, swelling, bleeding, or trauma to your teeth or mouth, it's best to contact your dentist. Reach out to us and see why Kutanovski Dental is the emergency dentist Crown Point patients depend upon for compassionate care. Even if you're unsure whether the issue is urgent, we can help assess the situation over the phone and recommend the next steps. As a general rule, if the problem is causing pain, swelling, difficulty eating, difficulty sleeping, or concern about permanent damage, don't wait to seek treatment.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

A knocked-out tooth is one of the most time-sensitive dental emergencies. Here's what to do:

1. Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root).
2. Gently rinse it with water if necessary, but do not scrub it.
3. Try to place it back into the socket if possible.
4. If reinsertion isn't possible, keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva.
5. Contact an emergency dentist immediately.

Quick treatment can significantly improve the chances of saving the tooth. If you've knocked out a tooth, contact Kutanovski Dental right away. Our team provides emergency dental care and may be able to help save the tooth if treatment is received quickly.

What if I have a toothache that comes and goes?

Even if the pain fades, don't ignore it. Toothaches can be caused by:

• Cavities
• Infections
• Cracked teeth
• Gum disease
• Other underlying dental issues

Addressing the problem early can often prevent a more serious dental emergency later. If you're experiencing recurring tooth pain, schedule an evaluation so we can identify the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

Can I visit Kutanovski Dental for emergency dentistry if I'm a new patient?

Absolutely. We welcome both new and existing patients who need an emergency dentist in Crown Point. Whether it's your first visit or you've been seeing us for years, our team will work to provide prompt, compassionate care when you need it most.

How much does emergency dentistry cost?

The cost of emergency dentistry depends on the nature of the problem and the treatment required. For example:

• Emergency exams may cost less than extensive restorative procedures.
• A filling may cost less than a root canal or dental crown.
• Treatment costs vary depending on the severity of the issue.

If you're concerned about cost, give us a call. We'll explain your options clearly, discuss insurance coverage, and help you understand any available financing options.

What if my child has a dental emergency?

We provide emergency dental care for children as well. Whether your child has a chipped tooth, a sports-related injury, a knocked-out tooth, or sudden dental pain, our team will help your child feel comfortable while providing the care they need. We understand that dental emergencies can be stressful for parents, and we're here to guide you through every step of the process.
