Dental Abscess — Do Not Wait

A dental abscess is a pocket of infection at the root of a tooth. Signs include severe throbbing pain, fever, facial swelling, and difficulty swallowing. Left untreated, the infection can spread beyond the jaw. Call our Castle Rock office or seek emergency medical care immediately.

What Castle Rock Patients Should Know About Emergency Dentist

Dental emergencies don’t keep business hours. Oakwood Dental reserves same-day appointments for urgent cases — if you call 303-688-3860 when we open, we will get you in that day whenever possible. Common emergencies we treat include knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, broken teeth, lost crowns, abscesses, and soft tissue injuries. For a knocked-out tooth: handle by the crown, not the root, place in milk or Keep Tooth Alive solution, and call us immediately — reimplantation success drops dramatically after 30 minutes.

A dental abscess (infection) is a medical emergency. Symptoms include severe throbbing pain, swelling of the jaw or face, fever, and a bad taste. Left untreated, dental infections can spread to the neck, jaw, and airway — a life-threatening situation. If you have facial swelling with fever and difficulty swallowing, go to the emergency room. For abscess pain and swelling without airway involvement, call Oakwood Dental immediately for same-day care and antibiotics.

Oakwood Dental serves emergency patients from Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Franktown, Parker, Lone Tree, and all of Douglas County. After-hours guidance is available by calling the main line at 303-688-3860. We’ll triage the situation over the phone and direct you to the appropriate level of care.

What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with milk or saline — do not scrub — and try to reinsert it in the socket if the patient is conscious and not at risk of swallowing it. If reinsertion isn’t possible, store the tooth in milk, a saliva-dampened gauze, or Keep Tooth Alive solution. Call 303-688-3860 immediately. Every minute counts.
What counts as a dental emergency?
True emergencies include: knocked-out teeth, broken teeth with exposed nerve (severe pain), dental abscess or facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding after extraction, and lost temporary crowns exposing prepared teeth. Lost permanent crowns without pain can often wait a day or two. Mild sensitivity is not an emergency. When in doubt, call — we’ll help you decide.
Is there a fee for emergency same-day visits?
An emergency exam fee applies for unscheduled urgent visits, separate from any treatment costs. Most dental insurance plans cover emergency exams at the same rate as regular exams. We accept all major PPO insurance plans and will review your benefits when you call.
