Knocked-Out Tooth in El Paso
Dental emergencies don’t happen often, but when they do reaction time is a critical factor in treatment. For instance, if a tooth has been knocked out, you need to get to the dentist within 30 minutes to try to save the tooth. Try to place the tooth back in the socket if not broken, and gently bite down so that it does not fall out. If this is not possible or if the tooth is broken, put the tooth in a glass of milk and bring it to our dentist. We will do our best to save the tooth.
Is it a Dental Emergency?
It’s important to understand the difference between a normal dental issue that can wait till the morning, and a full-blown dental emergency that may even be life-threatening. You can ask yourself these questions to determine whether you have a dental emergency.
- Do you have severe pain, swelling, or bleeding?
- Have you lost a tooth?
- Do you have loose teeth?
A dental emergency occurs when a tooth has suffered severe trauma or decay. Severe swelling from an abscess or bleeding also constitutes a dental emergency. An adult should never have loose teeth.
There are many different reasons you may be having a dental emergency. Common dental emergencies include:
- Permanent tooth knocked out
- Broken, loose, or cracked tooth/teeth
- Severe tooth decay or toothache
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Broken jaw
- Object caught between teeth

Why It’s Important to Have an Emergency Dentist
Having a dental emergency can be painful and frustrating if there’s not an emergency dentist available. That’s why Patriot Family Dental can accept emergency walk-ins from Monday to Saturday for your convenience. If you or a loved one is currently suffering from a knocked-out tooth, severe tooth decay, or any other sort of dental emergency, you‘ll want to make an appointment with us as soon as possible to avoid any further permanent damage to your oral health.
Avoid Any More Permanent Damage
Failing to go to an emergency dentist quickly after receiving trauma to the teeth or gums may lead to more damage and sometimes tooth loss. In some cases, the damage may come from old dental crowns or bridges that are falling out. It will be important to make an appointment immediately after a dental emergency becomes apparent.
