What to Do During a Dental Emergency
Toothache
Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and floss carefully to remove any trapped debris. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums. Call our office if pain continues or worsens.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Pick up the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently if dirty, but do not scrub it. If possible, place it back in the socket or keep it in milk and contact us immediately. Quick action can improve the chances of saving the tooth.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any broken pieces if possible and call us for prompt treatment.
Lost Crown or Filling
Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. Contact our office so we can restore and protect the tooth before further damage occurs.
Swelling or Abscess
Swelling in the gums, jaw, or face may be a sign of infection. This should be treated as soon as possible. Call our office right away for evaluation and treatment.
