Get Quick Help to Put Your Smile Back on Track
A dental crisis requires swift action to prevent further damage and relieve pain. Our dedicated team can handle any emergency you bring to us using restorative dental treatments or other services. We use modern technology like digital X-rays for quick, detailed imaging and an iTero digital scanner for precise impressions when needed.
If you experience a dental emergency, follow these steps before coming to our office:
- Toothache – Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply an ice pack on your cheek near the tooth.
- Loose or Dislodged Tooth – Call our office immediately for an appointment. Don’t try to force the tooth back into place.
- Broken Tooth – Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress. Bring any pieces of your tooth to your appointment.
- Knocked-Out Tooth – Hold the tooth by the crown (white part), rinse it off if it’s dirty, and try to reinsert it. If you can’t, place the tooth in a container of milk or saliva.
- Soft Tissue Injury – Rinse with warm salt water and apply gentle pressure to stop bleeding. If bleeding persists, go to the nearest emergency room.
- Broken Dental Appliance – Don’t attempt to fix it yourself; call our office for guidance. You can put a small bit of wax or chewing gum over any pointy edges to prevent irritation.
Remember, acting quickly can make a significant difference in saving your tooth or preventing further complications. Our team is trained to handle emergencies efficiently, providing you with the care you need when it matters most.
