A sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or an unexpected dental injury can throw your entire day off. When you’re hurting, the last thing you need is the added stress of figuring out where to go or whether anyone can see you.

At State Street Dental, we offer same-day emergency dentistry to help patients get timely attention when urgent dental problems arise. When you call our Boise dental office for emergency care, our team will help you understand your options and take the next step toward relief.

When Should You See an Emergency Dentist?

Some dental problems can wait for a routine appointment. Others need prompt attention to relieve pain, address infection, or prevent further damage.

Contact State Street Dental if you’re experiencing:

A severe or persistent toothache: Ongoing or worsening tooth pain can be a sign of decay, inflammation, infection, or another concern that needs evaluation.
A chipped, cracked, or broken tooth. Even if the damage doesn’t hurt, it’s worth having the tooth assessed.
A knocked-out tooth. This is time-sensitive. Seek dental care immediately.
A loose or displaced permanent tooth. An injury affecting the position or stability of a tooth should be evaluated promptly.
Swelling in your gums or face. Swelling can indicate an infection and should not be ignored.
A lost filling or crown. A damaged or missing restoration can leave a tooth vulnerable or uncomfortable.
A dental abscess or suspected infection. A pocket of pus, gum swelling, a bad taste, or worsening pain may indicate an infection that needs urgent treatment.
Bleeding or an injury to your mouth. Significant bleeding or trauma may require immediate attention.

If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies as a dental emergency, call our office. We can help you understand what to do next and whether you should seek immediate care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any problem involving your teeth, gums, or mouth that needs prompt attention to relieve significant pain, address an infection, or prevent further damage. Common examples include severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, dental abscesses, facial swelling, and injuries to the mouth. If you're unsure whether your situation is urgent, call State Street Dental so our team can help you determine what to do next.

Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment in Boise?

Yes! State Street Dental offers same-day emergency dental appointments based on availability and the nature of your dental concern. If you're experiencing unexpected pain or dental damage, call our Boise office as soon as possible. We'll discuss your symptoms and help you find the next available appointment.

What should I do if I have a severe toothache?

A persistent or severe toothache shouldn't be ignored, as it may indicate tooth decay, inflammation, infection, or another underlying problem. Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and avoid chewing on the affected side. You can use an over-the-counter pain reliever if appropriate for you, following the package directions. Contact an emergency dentist promptly to have the cause of your pain evaluated.

What should I do if I break or chip a tooth?

If you chip or break a tooth, rinse your mouth gently with warm water and save any broken pieces if possible. If there's swelling, applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek may help. Avoid chewing on the damaged tooth and contact State Street Dental for an evaluation. Even a small chip can sometimes expose sensitive areas or lead to additional damage if left untreated.

How do I know if I have a tooth infection and need emergency care?

Signs of a possible dental infection include persistent or worsening tooth pain, swollen gums, facial swelling, a bad taste in your mouth, or a visible pocket of pus near a tooth. A dental abscess won't go away on its own and needs professional treatment. Fever, rapidly spreading facial or neck swelling, or difficulty swallowing or breathing require immediate emergency medical care rather than waiting for a dental appointment.

What should I do if my dental crown or filling falls out?

If a crown or filling comes loose, try to keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. A missing restoration can leave the underlying tooth exposed and sensitive. If you still have the crown, bring it with you to your appointment. Contact our Boise dental office so we can evaluate the tooth and determine whether the restoration can be repaired or needs replacement.

What happens during an emergency dental appointment at State Street Dental?

Your emergency visit will begin with an evaluation of your symptoms and the affected area. Dr. Emily and her team may take dental X-rays or perform additional diagnostic tests to identify the cause of the problem. From there, we'll explain our findings and discuss appropriate treatment options. Right away, we'll work to address your urgent concern, relieve discomfort when possible, and determine what additional care may be needed.
