Knowing how to handle a dental emergency can make a significant difference in the outcome. Here are some steps to take in common dental emergencies:
Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any trapped food. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Avoid placing aspirin or any other painkiller directly on the gums or aching tooth.
Broken or Chipped Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any broken pieces. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Contact our emergency dentists immediately.
Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown (top part) and rinse it gently with water if dirty. Do not scrub or remove any attached tissue fragments. Try to reinsert the tooth into its socket if possible. If not, place the tooth in a container of milk or saline solution and seek emergency dental care immediately.
Loose or Lost Fillings and Crowns: Save any loose crowns and bring them to your appointment. You can use dental cement or temporary adhesive from a pharmacy to secure the crown temporarily until you see our
emergency dentist.
Abscess and Infections: Rinse your mouth with a mild saltwater solution to help reduce pain and draw out pus. Contact our emergency dentists promptly for treatment.
Broken Orthodontic Appliances: Use orthodontic wax to cover any sharp edges that are causing discomfort. Contact our office for an urgent appointment to repair or adjust the appliance.
