Know the Signs

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Not every dental problem requires urgent care, but some situations should not be put off. If you are experiencing any of the following, contact our Dodge Center office right away.

Severe Toothache

Persistent, throbbing pain that does not respond to over-the-counter medication may signal infection or nerve damage.

Broken or Cracked Tooth

A fractured tooth can expose the inner pulp to bacteria, increasing the risk of infection and further damage.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Time is critical. If you can get to our office within 30 minutes, there is a much better chance of saving the tooth.

Swelling or Abscess

Facial swelling, a pimple-like bump on the gums, or a foul taste can indicate a dental abscess that needs prompt treatment.

Lost Filling or Crown

A missing restoration leaves the tooth vulnerable. Contact us so we can protect the tooth before further damage occurs.

Uncontrolled Bleeding

Bleeding that does not stop after 15 minutes of firm pressure needs professional evaluation right away.

What to Do During a Dental Emergency

Staying calm and acting quickly can make a real difference. Follow these steps while you arrange to visit our Dodge Center office.

  1. Call us immediately

    Phone 507-374-6635 and describe your symptoms. Our team will advise you over the phone and schedule you as soon as possible.

  2. Manage your pain

    Take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek near the affected area to help reduce swelling.

  3. Protect the tooth

    If a tooth has been knocked out, hold it by the crown (not the root) and place it in a cup of milk. If a filling or crown has come loose, keep it safe and bring it with you.

  4. Get to our office

    We are located at 406 Hwy St W, Dodge Center, MN 55927. Patients from Rochester and surrounding communities can reach us in about 20 minutes via Highway 14.
