What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation causing severe pain, bleeding, swelling, or risk of permanent tooth loss. Delaying treatment can turn a manageable problem into a complex — and costly — one.

Step-by-Step Guide
What to Do Before You Arrive
Call Us Immediately
Call (703) 272-4389 right away. Describe your symptoms so we can prepare for your arrival and give you first-aid advice over the phone.
Control Bleeding & Pain
Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze for bleeding. For pain, take over-the-counter ibuprofen (if not contraindicated). Do not apply aspirin directly to the gum.
Preserve a Knocked-Out Tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown only. Rinse gently with water, place it back in the socket if possible, or keep it in milk or saliva. Time is critical.
Come In — We're Ready
Head straight to our Oakton office. We will have a treatment room ready for you. Bring any broken tooth fragments or pieces of restoration.
