Dental Emergency in Sunbury? We're Here to Help — Same Day
What To Do in a Dental Emergency
Not sure if your situation is an emergency? If you’re in pain, your mouth is swollen, you’ve lost a tooth, or something feels seriously wrong — it’s an emergency. Here are the most common dental emergencies we treat at Sunbury Dental Group:
Severe toothache or tooth pain — sudden, sharp or throbbing pain that won’t go away
Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth — time-critical; we may be able to re-implant it if you act fast
Cracked or broken tooth — especially if there is pain, sharp edges, or exposed pulp
Dental abscess or facial swelling — a sign of infection that can become serious quickly
Lost filling or crown — leaving the tooth exposed can cause pain and further damage
Broken or damaged dentures — affecting your ability to eat or speak
Dental trauma from an accident or injury — sports injuries, falls, or accidents
Bleeding gums that won’t stop — especially after trauma or extraction

Toothache: Rinse with warm salty water. Take over-the-counter pain relief (e.g. ibuprofen). Do NOT place aspirin directly on the tooth.
Broken tooth: Rinse your mouth, apply gentle pressure with gauze if bleeding, and avoid chewing on that side.
