What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe or persistent toothaches
- Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
- Loose or displaced permanent teeth
- Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges
- Dental abscesses or infections
- Swelling of the gums or face
- Injuries to the lips, gums, cheeks, or tongue
- Broken dentures or dental appliances causing pain
Fast Diagnosis with Advanced Technology
When you’re in pain, every minute matters. That’s why we use advanced dental technology to diagnose emergencies quickly and accurately.
Digital 3D X-rays allow us to evaluate teeth, roots, bone, and surrounding structures with exceptional detail, helping us identify hidden fractures, infections, or other concerns that may not be visible during a clinical exam. Intraoral cameras also help you see what we see, making it easier to understand your diagnosis and treatment options.
Our goal is to provide answers and relief as efficiently as possible.
Emergency Dental Treatments
Because every dental emergency is different, your treatment will be tailored to you. Depending on your situation, we may recommend:
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Same-day CEREC® dental crowns
- Root canal therapy
- Tooth extractions
- Treatment for dental infections or abscesses
- Temporary or permanent restorations
- Replacement of damaged dental work
Whenever possible, we’ll focus on preserving your natural tooth while relieving your pain and restoring your oral health.
Comfort-Focused Emergency Care

For patients with dental anxiety or extensive treatment needs, we also offer oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide to help create a more relaxed experience. We use modern technology, including The Wand® computerized anesthetic delivery system, to make numbing injections as gentle and comfortable as possible.
Don’t Wait to Get the Care You Need
Delaying treatment can allow dental problems to worsen, leading to increased pain, infection, or more extensive treatment. If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, don’t wait to see if it improves on its own.
Southern Boulevard Dental Center proudly provides same-day emergency appointments whenever possible, helping patients throughout Rio Rancho receive prompt, compassionate care when they need it most.
