Dental emergencies can happen at any time. Here are some of the most common issues we treat:

• ‍Severe Toothache: Intense pain can be a sign of an infection or other serious dental issue.‍
• Broken or Chipped Tooth: Accidents can cause teeth to break or chip, requiring immediate attention.‍
• Knocked-Out Tooth: Quick action can save a knocked-out tooth. Place it in a container of milk and see us immediately.‍
• Lost Filling or Crown: Losing a filling or crown can be painful and requires prompt replacement.‍
• Abscess: An abscess is a serious infection that can cause severe pain and swelling.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Knowing how to handle a dental emergency can make a significant difference in the outcome. Here are some steps to take:

Severe Toothache

Rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any trapped food. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and contact us immediately.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Save any pieces of the tooth and rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply gauze to any bleeding area and a cold compress to reduce swelling. See us as soon as possible.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Handle the tooth by the crown (top), not the root. Rinse it gently without scrubbing, place it in milk, and get to our office within an hour for the best chance of saving the tooth.

Lost Filling or Crown

Apply a small piece of sugarless gum into the cavity for temporary protection and avoid using the affected tooth. Contact us for a prompt appointment.

Abscess

Rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day and contact us immediately. An abscess can lead to serious complications if not treated promptly.
