What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Common emergencies we treat: Severe toothache, chipped or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost crowns or fillings, dental abscesses and infections, soft tissue injuries to the mouth.
What to do before your appointment: If a tooth has been knocked out, keep it moist, ideally in milk or between your cheek and gum, and call us immediately. For bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth.
Pain management: Call our office and describe your symptoms so we can advise you on managing pain and swelling until you arrive. Over-the-counter pain relievers and a cold compress can help in the meantime.
