Understanding Dental Emergencies
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
We treat a full range of dental emergencies, including:
- Severe or persistent toothaches
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Knocked-out or loose teeth
- Lost fillings, crowns, or dental restorations
- Abscesses or swelling of the gums, face, or jaw
- Gum injuries, lacerations, or bleeding
- Jaw pain or trauma
If you're experiencing any of these, don’t delay. Prompt attention can save your tooth and prevent long-term damage.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Stay calm and follow these quick steps:
- Toothache: Rinse with warm water. Use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid aspirin directly on the gums.
- Knocked-out tooth: Handle by the crown, rinse gently, and place in milk or a tooth preservation solution. Call us immediately.
- Broken tooth or filling: Save any fragments and avoid eating on that side.
