Dental Emergencies in Renton, WA

A dental emergency is any sudden oral health issue that causes pain, bleeding, swelling, or damage and requires prompt professional attention. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, it’s always best to call our office so we can advise you.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat:

• Severe, persistent toothaches
• Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
• Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
• Loose or lost fillings or crowns
• Soft tissue injuries (cheek, lip, or tongue cuts)
• Dental abscesses or swelling
• Objects stuck between teeth
• Trauma from sports or accidents

If you're experiencing any of the above, contact us immediately. Early treatment can prevent further damage and relieve pain quickly.

Explore our full range of restorative and general dentistry services to learn how we repair and restore damaged teeth.

• Toothache: Rinse with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relief. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep the tooth moist—place it in milk or your mouth between cheek and gums. Get to our office within 30–60 minutes if possible.
• Broken Tooth: Rinse your mouth, use a cold compress, and save any broken fragments if possible.
• Lost Filling or Crown: Use dental cement or sugar-free gum to cover the area temporarily. Avoid chewing on that side.

For more involved cases like trauma or swelling, we may refer you for additional imaging or prescribe antibiotics before in-office treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Emergencies

How do I know if I have a dental emergency?

If you're experiencing severe pain, bleeding, swelling, or trauma to the mouth, it’s considered a dental emergency. If you're unsure, call our office—we’ll help assess the urgency.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Try to find the tooth, hold it by the crown (not the root), and keep it moist—preferably in milk. Call us immediately. If reimplanted within 30–60 minutes, there's a chance we can save the tooth.

Can you see me the same day for a dental emergency?

Yes. We set aside time each day for emergency appointments and will do everything we can to see you as soon as possible.

Will my insurance cover emergency dental treatment?

Most insurance plans cover emergency dental visits, but coverage depends on your specific provider and plan. Our team can help verify your benefits and provide cost estimates.

What if I have an emergency after hours?

Call our office number and follow the voicemail instructions. We provide guidance for after-hours concerns and will help schedule urgent care as needed.

Absolutely. As a family dentist in Renton, Dr. Yi is experienced in treating children and making them feel safe and comfortable during emergencies.
