Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, knocked-out teeth, broken or cracked teeth, lost fillings or crowns, facial swelling, bleeding gums, or any dental trauma. If you're experiencing significant pain or have suffered dental injury, call us immediately at 224-520-8665.

What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?

Act fast - time is critical! Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently with water if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If that's not possible, store it in milk or saliva and get to our office within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.

How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?

We offer same-day emergency appointments, often within hours of your call. Weekend and after-hours emergency care is also available. The sooner you call 224-520-8665, the faster we can schedule your urgent appointment.

Will my insurance cover emergency dental treatment?

We accept all major PPO insurance plans and will help maximize your benefits. We'll provide treatment estimates upfront so you know exactly what to expect. Emergency treatments are typically covered, though coverage varies by plan.

What can I do for severe tooth pain before my appointment?

Take over-the-counter pain medication as directed, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for 15-20 minutes, rinse with warm salt water, and avoid extremely hot or cold foods. Never apply aspirin directly to the tooth or gums.

Do you provide emergency dental care on weekends?

Yes! We understand dental emergencies don't follow business hours. We provide weekend emergency dental care in Bloomingdale. Call our emergency line at 224-520-8665 and we'll guide you through the next steps.

What should I bring to my emergency dental appointment?

Bring a valid ID, insurance cards, list of current medications, and any pieces of broken teeth if applicable. If you're in severe pain, have someone drive you to ensure your safety.

Can you save a severely damaged tooth?

Often, yes! Dr. Kim specializes in conservative treatments like root canal therapy to preserve natural teeth. Even severely damaged teeth can sometimes be saved with prompt treatment. The key is getting care quickly.

What happens if I delay emergency dental treatment?

Delaying treatment can lead to increased pain, infection spread, more complex procedures, higher costs, and potential tooth loss. Dental infections can become serious health threats if left untreated.
