Emergency Dental Care in Minneapolis, MN
Dental emergencies often happen without warning. One moment you’re fine, and the next you’re dealing with sudden pain, a broken tooth, or unexpected swelling. At Loop Dental in Minneapolis, MN, we understand how stressful that can feel. That’s why our team is always ready to help when pain or damage appears suddenly.
Whether you wake up with a toothache that won’t go away, chip a tooth during the weekend, or lose a crown right before an important event, our emergency dental team provides quick and gentle care. We focus on identifying the cause, relieving your discomfort, and protecting your smile from further harm.
Our goal is not just to fix the problem but to make sure you feel calm, supported, and confident during your visit.
Types of Dental Emergencies We Treat
Severe toothache
A sudden toothache can make it hard to eat, sleep, or focus. It’s often caused by decay, infection, or gum irritation. We find what’s causing the pain and treat it quickly to help you feel comfortable again.
Knocked-out tooth
If your tooth gets knocked out, time is critical. Keeping it moist and getting to our office right away can help save it. Our team acts fast to reattach your tooth and protect your smile from long-term damage.
Broken & cracked tooth
A broken tooth can be painful and sensitive to temperature. If left untreated, it can lead to infection or further damage. We repair the tooth using strong materials that restore comfort and natural function.
Lost fillings or crowns
When a filling or crown comes loose, the tooth underneath is left unprotected and sensitive. We’ll clean the area and replace your restoration to seal and strengthen the tooth, keeping your smile pain-free.
Dental abscesses
A dental abscess is a serious infection that causes swelling and throbbing pain. It needs prompt care. We drain the infection, clean the area, and treat the cause to prevent it from spreading to other parts of your mouth.
Soft tissue injuries
Cuts or injuries to your gums, tongue, or lips can bleed and feel sore. We gently clean and treat the wound, stop the bleeding, and make sure there’s no hidden damage so you can heal comfortably and quickly.
Emergency Treatment 101
We’ve answered the most frequently asked questions to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident before your appointment.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Handle the tooth gently by the crown (not the root), rinse it with water if dirty, and place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it moist in milk or saliva and get to Loop Dental immediately — time is critical for saving the tooth.
Can I get a same-day emergency appointment at Loop Dental?
Yes! Dr. Bates keeps time open for same-day emergency visits. Whether it’s a cracked tooth or intense pain, we’ll do our best to treat you quickly and comfortably.
What if I have sudden tooth pain but no visible damage?
Tooth pain can signal infection, nerve inflammation, or deep decay — even if nothing looks wrong. Don’t wait it out. Early treatment can save the tooth and stop the pain before it worsens.
How can I relieve tooth pain before seeing the dentist?
Rinse with warm salt water, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid heat and don’t place aspirin directly on the tooth — it can damage gum tissue.
Are dental emergencies preventable?
Many are! Regular checkups, wearing a mouthguard during sports, and addressing small issues early can keep minor problems from turning into emergencies later on.

I love Loop Dental! They're always so friendly, and truly caring. I got my wisdom teeth out on my latest visit and they were so gracious in letting me take breaks and not judging me for being anxious. I also got a very nice follow up call from Doctor Bates afterwards. Thanks for providing such a positive space!

Dr. Bates is awesome and Brooke is my favorite dental hygienist ever. I’ve lived all over and had plenty of dentists— Loop Dental is hands down the best. The office is amazing and they have more tech than any other dentist I’ve been to (cleaning tools + pictures of your teeth).

Loop Dental was by far the best dental experience I’ve ever had. The entire team was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. My treatment options were clearly explained in layman’s terms. Additionally a sense of humor was present which helped to create a relaxed and comfortable environment.
I would recommend Loop Dental. The front desk staff are always helpful and kind. Brooke is friendly and more importantly gentle when she cleans my teeth. Dr. Hannon is attentive and thoughtful. On top of that, the location is great and there is parking which is a special gift in the North Loop.
