A dental emergency hits when you least expect it. Maybe you’re dealing with severe tooth pain that started during dinner, or your teenager comes home from contact sports with a knocked-out tooth. When you need immediate attention for urgent dental issues, you want an experienced dentist who can provide quick treatment without the runaround.
At Russell Branch Dental, we’ve built our dental practice around helping people in Leesburg, Ashburn, and Loudoun County when dental problems can’t wait. Our skilled team knows that dental emergencies disrupt your busy schedule, which is why we offer same-day emergency appointments and immediate care when you need it most.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental issue needs urgent attention, but some situations require immediate treatment to prevent further damage or further complications. Here are the most common dental emergencies we see:
Severe toothaches and sudden toothache – When over-the-counter pain relief isn’t touching the intense pain
Knocked-out teeth – Usually from contact sports, accidents, or dental trauma
Broken tooth, cracked tooth, or chipped tooth – Especially when there’s severe pain involved
Lost filling or dental crowns – Leaving your tooth exposed and vulnerable
Dental abscesses and tooth infection – These can spread and cause serious problems
Loose tooth from dental injury – Quick action can sometimes save the tooth
Facial swelling – Often signals infection that needs urgent care
Broken denture – When you can’t eat or speak normally
If you’re experiencing uncontrolled bleeding, severe facial swelling, or symptoms that seem life-threatening, head to the emergency room first for medical attention, then contact our emergency dentist services for follow-up dental care.
Handling Dental Emergencies: Quick Action Makes a Difference
In such situations, staying calm and taking quick action can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth. Here’s what to do for urgent dental needs:
For a knocked-out tooth: Handle it by the top part (crown), rinse gently with warm water, and store it in warm salt water or milk. Bring it to our emergency dentist in Leesburg – we might be able to save it.
For severe toothaches: Rinse with warm salt water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and avoid chewing on the affected side.
For a broken tooth or cracked tooth: Collect any pieces, rinse with warm water, and protect the damaged area until your emergency visit.
For lost filling or dental crowns: Cover the exposed tooth with temporary dental cement from the pharmacy to prevent further damage.
For dental abscesses or facial swelling: Use a cold compress and call immediately for same-day emergency appointments.
These steps help ensure you get the most effective care and avoid further complications.
Most importantly, come see your dentist at Russell Branch Dental & Orthodontics! We are Emergency Specialists and we can see you today.

What To Do In A Dental Emergency
During a dental emergency, taking the appropriate steps can help manage the situation until you receive professional care. Here’s what to do:
1. Stay Calm:
Remain calm and composed, as this will help you think clearly and make informed decisions.
2. Contact Your Emergency Dentist:
Call Russell Branch Dental & Orthodontics at 703-771-2670 immediately to schedule an emergency appointment. Our team will guide you through the next steps and provide appropriate guidance.
3. Manage Pain and Swelling:
Use a cold compress on the affected area to reduce swelling and take over-the-counter pain medication as directed.
4. Preserve a Knocked-Out Tooth:
If a tooth is knocked out, carefully rinse it with water without scrubbing the root. If possible, place it back into the socket, or store it in a clean container with milk or saliva until you reach the dental office.
Emergencies
A: In most cases, we recommend visiting an emergency dentist like Dr. Mekouar, who is specially trained to handle dental emergencies. However, if your dental emergency involves a severe facial injury or other life-threatening conditions, it is advisable to go to the emergency room.
A: Time is of the essence in a dental emergency. It is best to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent further complications and ensure the best outcome.

While you can’t prevent every dental emergency, good oral hygiene and smart habits reduce your risk of urgent dental issues:
- Maintain good oral hygiene with daily brushing and flossing
- Schedule regular dental appointments for preventive care
- Wear protective gear during contact sports to prevent dental trauma
- Follow a healthy diet and limit sugary foods that cause tooth decay
- Address dental problems early before they become emergencies
- Get a treatment plan for replacing old dental work promptly
This approach is the best way to minimize your need for emergency care and maintain better oral health long-term.
