What To Do In The Event of a Dental Emergency



Here is a guide to help you manage some of the most common dental emergencies that may occur before you visit our office.

• Knocked Out Tooth: Gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing. If possible, try to put it back into the socket or store it in milk or saliva. Seek immediate care.
• Severe Toothache: Use dental floss and warm water to rinse your mouth. Don’t rub aspirin on your gums as it can cause gum burns if placed directly on them. 
• Broken or Chipped Tooth: Rinse out your mouth, and save any broken bits. Use a cold compress on the area to reduce swelling. Then, come in as soon as possible.
• Loss of a Crown or Filling: Cover the area with dental cement to prevent further damage.

Maintaining optimal oral health is not just about emergency dental care. To ensure success over the long term, we encourage our patients to return to us for routine checkups and follow-up treatment. We are committed to helping you and your family achieve beautiful, healthy smiles by providing preventive care and education.
