EMERGENCY DENTAL CARE

 

If you need emergency dental care, please call our practice as soon as possible. If our office is closed, you may leave a message, and we’ll get back to you at our earliest opportunity. In an extreme emergency, please visit a hospital emergency room.

 

 

We are here to help you when your dental health is at risk. We’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re treated as soon as possible. While dental emergencies are rare, they can happen, and it’s important to know how to take care of your teeth no matter what.

 

Common dental emergencies include:

 

  • Severe toothache
  • Broken or cracked tooth/teeth
  • Permanent tooth knocked out
  • Object caught between teeth
  • Broken Jaw
  • Biten lip or tongue

 

When to Seek Emergency Dental Care

 

Here are guidelines on how to handle common oral discomforts and injuries, and when these require emergency dental care or services:

 

Toothache
See your emergency dentist as soon as you feel discomfort or pain.
Broken, chipped or cracked tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to your face. Go to the dentist right away. If the tooth was broken or chipped, bring the tooth fragment wrapped in wet gauze or a wet towel.

 

Loosened or knocked-out tooth
If your tooth becomes loose due to trauma, call your dentist. For a knocked out tooth, gently insert the lost tooth back in its socket if possible, holding the tooth by the crown using a clean washcloth. If the tooth is dirty, first rinse the root, but do not scrub it or remove any attached tissues. If reinsertion is not possible, hold the tooth under the tongue and go to the dentist immediately.

 

Broken Jaw
Apply ice or a cold compress to the face. Go to your dentist or an emergency center immediately.

 

Bitten Tongue or Lip
Clean the area with a wet cloth and place a cold compress on the area to reduce swelling. If the bleeding persists or if it is excessive, go to your dentist or an emergency center.
