What is it?
Emergency dentistry provides urgent relief for severe toothaches, acute pulp infections, knocked-out (avulsed) teeth, fractured crowns, facial swelling, and post-extraction bleeding. At Kumar's Microscopic Dental Care in Yelahanka New Town, emergency appointments are prioritized to eliminate pain and save natural teeth. Pediatric dental injuries are promptly managed by Dr. Prem Kumar R.
Who needs it?
- Patients suffering from unbearable, throbbing toothaches keeping them awake at night
- Children and adults with knocked-out, fractured, or displaced teeth from sports or falls
- Rapidly developing gum or facial swelling indicating an acute abscess
- Sudden loss of a crown, bridge, or large filling leaving sharp edges exposed
Symptoms
- Severe, unmanageable dental pain
- Visible facial swelling, gum boil, or fever associated with toothache
- Bleeding in mouth that does not stop after trauma or extraction
- Completely knocked-out tooth or broken jaw bone sensitivity
Causes
- Acute pulpitis or apical abscess
- Sports accidents, vehicular falls, or blunt trauma to mouth
- Sudden catastrophic fracture of an uncapped root-canal tooth

Benefits
- Rapid pain elimination with gentle local anesthesia and emergency pulp therapy
- Time-sensitive protocols that can replant and save knocked-out teeth within 60 minutes
- Clear, calm treatment plan to permanently resolve the underlying infection
Risks & considerations

- Rapid digital radiography to pinpoint the source of pain or root fracture
- Immediate painless anesthesia and emergency intervention (drainage, emergency pulpotomy, trauma splinting, or gentle extraction)
- Prescription of necessary anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medications
- Scheduled follow-up for permanent definitive restoration

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if a permanent tooth is completely knocked out?
Pick the tooth up by the white crown only (DO NOT touch the root). Rinse gently in cold water for 10 seconds if dirty (do not scrub). Place the tooth in a cup of cold milk or the patient's own saliva, and rush to Kumar's Dental in Yelahanka immediately within 30–60 minutes.
Is your dental clinic open on weekends for emergencies?
Yes! We are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Call +91 81972 80019 for urgent slot allocation.
Can emergency tooth extractions be done on the same day?
Yes. If a tooth is hopelessly fractured or causing severe acute infection that cannot be saved, gentle same-day emergency extraction is performed under full local anesthesia for immediate relief.
