What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate dental care to save a tooth, stop severe bleeding, or manage significant pain. Dr. Foleck emphasizes that proper identification of dental emergencies helps patients seek appropriate care promptly.

Common dental emergencies include:

  • Knocked-out teeth require immediate action, ideally within 30 minutes, for the best chance of saving the tooth. Store the tooth in milk or saliva and head straight to The Foleck Center for professional care.
  • Severe Tooth Pain or Pressure might indicate an abscess or infection, which can become life-threatening if left untreated. Dr. Adam Foleck recommends immediate evaluation to prevent complications and manage pain effectively.
  • Broken or Cracked Teeth expose sensitive inner layers to bacteria and temperature changes, leading to intense pain and potential infection. The Foleck Center provides emergency services to prevent further damage and protect your oral health.

When to Call an Emergency Dentist

Understanding when to contact an emergency dentist saves precious time during stressful situations. The Foleck Center’s Virginia Beach location serves patients throughout Hampton Roads with emergency dental services. Contact Dr. Foleck immediately if you experience:

  • Lost or loose dental crowns and fillings that expose sensitive tooth structures
  • Severe tooth pain that prevents eating, sleeping, or daily activities
  • Significant facial swelling around the jaw or gums
  • Broken teeth with sharp edges that can cut your tongue or cheeks
  • Persistent bleeding from the gums or after a tooth extraction

Dr. Adam Foleck maintains flexible scheduling to accommodate emergency cases, understanding that dental emergencies rarely happen at convenient times. The Foleck Center’s team works diligently to provide same-day appointments for urgent dental needs.

When to Go to the Hospital

While many dental emergencies can be handled at The Foleck Center, some situations require immediate hospital care. Dr. Foleck advises patients in Virginia to seek emergency room treatment if they experience:

  • Jaw fractures or dislocations from trauma
  • Severe cuts or lacerations to the face and mouth
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing
  • Signs of infection with fever and facial swelling
  • Uncontrollable bleeding that persists despite pressure

After receiving hospital care, follow-up treatment at The Foleck Center helps ensure proper healing and prevents future complications. Dr. Adam Foleck works closely with emergency room physicians to coordinate comprehensive care for patients.
