Dental Emergencies
A dental emergency rarely gives you time to prepare, and knowing how to react in the first few minutes can make a real difference in the outcome. Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth, a cracked crown, a painful gum abscess, or a child who’s chipped a tooth at the playground, understanding what counts as urgent and what can safely wait for a regular appointment helps you make the right call under pressure.
Below, Dr. Molly Rodgers and her Edmonton team walk through common dental emergencies step by step, from immediate first-aid actions and recovery tips after extractions to the everyday habits that help prevent emergencies before they happen. These guides are written for patients and parents across Mill Woods, Ellerslie, Summerside, and Beaumont who want clear answers when something goes wrong.
