We handle a variety of dental emergencies, including:
- Severe, persistent toothaches or other types of tooth pain
- Lost dental restorations, such as fillings or crowns
- Damage to the soft tissues of the mouth, including the tongue, cheeks, lips and gums
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Partially or fully knocked-out teeth
If you suffer from one of these conditions or another type of dental emergency, please contact our office immediately. Our team will provide guidance on how to care for your dental issue until you can meet with our dentists and receive the care you need.
Here are a few tips to manage common dental emergencies:
- Toothaches: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any trapped food. Avoid placing aspirin on the aching tooth or gum tissues.
- Knocked-out tooth: Keep the tooth moist at all times. If possible, try to place the tooth back in the socket without touching the root. Otherwise, store it in milk or a tooth preservation product.
- Cracked tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face to reduce swelling.
In cases of trauma to the head or neck, call 911 or visit the emergency room or your general physician before coming to us, even if your smile is also affected.
Your oral health is our priority. For more information about emergency dental care, or to schedule an emergency appointment with our dentists, reach out to our office today. We are here to help you maintain a healthy, pain-free smile.
