Why Emergency Dental Care Matters
When a dental emergency strikes, time is critical. Ignoring a chipped tooth, severe toothache, or oral trauma can result in complications such as infection, tooth loss, or even systemic health problems. Acting quickly allows us to address the issue before it escalates, saving you from unnecessary procedures and costs.
Dental emergencies are not just about restoring your smile — they are about protecting your overall health. Oral infections can spread to other parts of the body, and untreated injuries can affect your ability to eat, speak, and go about daily life. By seeking immediate help, you protect more than just your teeth.
When Should I Come In for Emergency Care?
If you are wondering whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, ask yourself this: Is my dental problem causing severe discomfort, bleeding, or interfering with daily life? If the answer is yes, you should call us right away.
Common emergencies we treat at Rose Wang Dentistry include:
- Severe, lingering toothaches or other forms of dental pain
- A knocked-out tooth that requires urgent reimplantation
- Cracked or fractured teeth from accidents or injuries
- Chipped teeth that expose sensitive inner layers
- Soft tissue injuries, including cuts to the gums, cheeks, tongue, or lips
- A tooth that has been partially dislodged (extruded)
- Lost or damaged restorations such as crowns, fillings, or bridges
- Infections or abscesses cause swelling, fever, or persistent pain.
Even if your concern seems small, it is always safer to have it checked by a professional. Prompt emergency dental care can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth.
What to Do During a Dental Emergency
Knowing how to respond in the moments after a dental injury can make a big difference:
- Knocked-out tooth: Gently rinse the tooth, avoiding contact with the root, and reinsert it into the socket if possible. If not, keep it in milk or saliva and bring it with you immediately.
- Severe toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
- Broken or Chipped Tooth: Save any pieces and rinse your mouth thoroughly. Cover sharp edges with dental wax if available.
- Soft tissue injuries: Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze to control bleeding.
- Lost crown or filling: Avoid chewing on that side of the mouth and schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
Our Lexington team is trained to handle dental trauma quickly and effectively, giving you the best chance of a full recovery.
What to Expect at Your Emergency Appointment
When you arrive at Rose Wang Dentistry for emergency dental care, our team will:
- Relieve your pain: We will begin by addressing discomfort with medication, numbing agents, or treatment to stabilize your condition.
- Diagnose the issue: Using advanced imaging and a thorough examination, we will pinpoint the source of the problem.
- Provide immediate care: Whenever possible, we will address the issue on the same day, whether that involves repairing a restoration, reattaching a tooth, or initiating treatment for an infection.
- Plan long-term solutions: Some emergencies require follow-up care, such as crowns, implants, or root canals. We will explain your options clearly and guide you through every step.
Our dedicated team makes every effort to ensure you feel supported, informed, and cared for during what can be a stressful time.

While not every dental trauma can be avoided, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk:
- Wear a custom mouthguard during sports or physical activities.
- Avoid chewing on ice, pens, or hard objects that can fracture teeth.
- Keep up with routine checkups so minor issues can be caught early.
- Practice daily brushing and flossing to reduce the risk of infection or decay.
By staying proactive, you can protect your teeth and minimize the need for emergency dental care.

"“I have been going to Dr Wang’s office over 10 years now. Staff is amazing and everything is done in perfection. Because I moved further, I tried different dentist near by me but once you go Rose Wang’s dentistry, you realize the difference. So I am back to her dentist office now. I recommend 100%."

FAQ's About Emergency Dentistry
How Soon Should I Schedule an Appointment After a Dental Emergency?
Immediately. The sooner you get care, the better the outcome — especially for knocked-out or fractured teeth.
Will I Be Treated the Same Day?
In most cases, yes. We make every effort to provide same-day relief for emergencies.
Can a Tooth That Has Been Knocked Out Really Be Saved?
Yes, but only if you act quickly. Bringing the tooth in within 30–60 minutes gives you the best chance of success.
What if I Am Not Sure if It Is an Emergency?
If you are in doubt, call us. It is better to have your concern evaluated than risk complications.
What Should I Do if My Crown or Filling Falls out of Place?
If you lose a crown or filling, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and contact us immediately. While it may not seem urgent, leaving the tooth exposed can lead to sensitivity, decay, or even infection. Same-day emergency dental care can prevent further damage.
