What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency can range from severe pain to visible damage or infection. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, it’s always better to call—we’ll help assess your symptoms and recommend next steps.
Common reasons to seek emergency dental care include:
- Knocked-out or loose adult tooth
- Cracked, chipped, or fractured tooth
- Traumatic dental injury
- Severe toothache or sensitivity
- Facial swelling or abscess near a tooth or gum
- Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges
- Injuries to the lips, gums, or jaw
- Bleeding that doesn’t stop with gentle pressure
- Pain that interferes with eating, sleeping, or speaking
If you're experiencing any of these issues, don't delay—early treatment can make all the difference in saving a tooth or preventing complications.
What to Expect During an Emergency Dental Visit
Dr. Luke and our team are equipped to manage most urgent issues right here in our office, without the need for an outside referral.
Here’s what typically happens when you visit us for emergency dental care:
- Immediate Evaluation: We assess the nature and severity of your issue.
- Digital Imaging: X-rays may be taken to identify hidden damage or infection.
- Pain Management: Relief is our top priority—we'll numb the area or offer appropriate medication.
- Treatment Plan: We provide options based on your condition, including temporary or permanent solutions.
In some cases, same-day treatment may include a tooth extraction, root canal, or repair with dental crowns. We’ll guide you through the process and follow up to ensure you’re healing properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root, and rinse it gently with water without scrubbing. If you can, place it back in the socket. If not, keep it in a cup of milk. Call us right away, because time matters.
Is a cracked tooth always an emergency?
Not always, but if you’re in pain or the crack is deep, call us right away. Some cracks may expose the nerve, requiring immediate attention to avoid infection or further damage.
What if I have facial swelling?
Swelling could be a sign of a serious infection. Call us immediately—delayed treatment can lead to complications that may require hospitalization.
Will I need a follow-up visit after emergency treatment?
In many cases, yes. Emergency care often stabilizes the issue, but a second visit may be needed for permanent restoration or continued monitoring.
Do you accept new patients for emergency visits?
Absolutely. You don’t need to be an existing patient to get urgent care at Santa Rita Family Dentistry. We welcome new patients in need of immediate help.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling in the gums or face, or a lost crown or filling that leaves pain or a sharp edge. If you are not sure, call us and we will help you figure it out.
Can you see me the same day?
We keep room in the schedule for emergencies on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and will do our best to fit you in. Call (520) 762-0123 so we can get you in as soon as possible.
