Emergency Dental Services

If you're able to pick up your knocked out tooth, rinse and hold it by the crown - not the roots - before re-inserting it into the tooth socket by gently biting down once it is in its place. Attempt to keep it moist by keeping it in a glass of milk or holding it in your mouth until you arrive at your office. 

Take an over-the-counter pain medication. Do not take aspirin if you are bleeding. Apply a cold compress against your cheek where your tooth has been fractured to help reduce any pain and swelling. 

Call our office as soon as possible. The sooner you can be treated after a tooth has been knocked out, the better the chance your dentist will have of saving it. 

For a chipped or broken tooth that's missing, try to find the tooth and put it in a clean container to bring to your appointment. Your dentist may be able to reattach it. Whether you find your tooth or not, phone our office right away to have it repaired.

Try to identify and pick up any broken or lost fillings or crowns before rinsing them and attempting to place them back on your tooth. Call us as soon as possible to arrange an appointment to have it fixed. 

Are you experiencing moderate to severe swelling, pain, or discomfort in your mouth or jaw area?

Call us as soon as possible and follow these steps to alleviate pain in the meantime:

1. Apply a cold compress to your cheek, on the area where you are feeling pain. 

2. Take an over-the-counter pain medication.

3. If the pain is coming from inside your mouth, use salt water to flush the area that is in pain.

Please note if the swelling is impacting your ability to breathe you should seek emergency medical care at a hospital as soon as possible.
