Emergency Care in Edina, MN

You can reach an emergency dentist at Mint Dental by calling 952-831-1332 as early in the day as possible. The office is located at 7550 France Avenue South, Suite 138, Edina, MN 55435, and provides emergency care to both new and current patients during opening hours. If you’re in pain or have injured a tooth, call first so the team can guide you by phone and arrange to see you. For non-urgent needs, you can also request an appointment online.

Act within 30 to 60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth. Pick it up by the crown, never the root, and gently rinse off dirt without scrubbing or removing any attached tissue. If you can, place it back in the socket and bite softly on gauze; if not, keep it in milk (not water) or tucked in your cheek. Then call Mint Dental at 952-831-1332 immediately and head in.

Call right away for severe or worsening pain, bleeding that won’t stop, a knocked-out or loosened tooth, swelling in the mouth or face, or trauma to the jaw. Problems like a dull ache, a small chip with no pain, or a lost filling that isn’t hurting usually aren’t emergencies but should still be seen soon before they worsen. When you’re unsure, call 952-831-1332 and the team can help you decide over the phone.

Rinse with warm salt water and gently floss around the tooth to dislodge any trapped food. An over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can ease discomfort, and a cold compress on the outside of your cheek helps with swelling. Don’t place aspirin directly on the gum or tooth, as it can burn the tissue. A severe or lasting toothache signals a real problem, so call Mint Dental at 952-831-1332 to be seen.

Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any broken pieces if you can. Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling, and if there’s a sharp edge, cover it with dental wax or sugar-free gum to protect your tongue and cheek. Avoid chewing on that side until you’re seen. Call Mint Dental at 952-831-1332 promptly, since a cracked tooth can worsen or become infected if left untreated.

A knocked-out or broken tooth on its own is a dental emergency, so call the dental office right away. But go to the emergency room or call 911 first if you have a possible broken or dislocated jaw, uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or severe facial swelling, especially after a fall or blow to the head. Those situations need medical care before dental treatment. Once you’re stable, Mint Dental can address the tooth itself.

Yes. Mint Dental provides emergency care to both new and current patients during opening hours, so you don’t need an established history with the practice to be seen for urgent pain or injury. Call 952-831-1332 as early as you can and the team will work to fit you in. If your situation isn’t urgent, you can also join the practice through the new patients page and schedule a regular visit.

Keep the crown if you still have it and bring it with you. You can temporarily protect the tooth with over-the-counter dental cement, or cover a lost filling with a small piece of sugar-free gum in a pinch. Avoid chewing on that side, and never use household glue to reattach a crown. Call Mint Dental at 952-831-1332 to arrange a repair of your filling or crown before the exposed tooth becomes sensitive or damaged.

Yes, Mint Dental can often see emergency patients the same day when it’s needed. The best step is to call 952-831-1332 as early in the day as possible, since same-day availability depends on the schedule and the nature of your emergency. When you call, describe your symptoms so the team can prioritize your visit and guide you on what to do in the meantime. Prompt treatment gives the best chance of relieving pain and saving the tooth.
