Common Dental Emergencies
Severe Toothache
Rinse gently with warm water, floss to remove trapped food, and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the label. Call us. Treatment may include a root canal or an extraction.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time matters. Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse it without scrubbing. Try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk. Call us right away. Getting care within about 30 minutes gives the best chance of saving it.
Chipped or Broken Tooth
Rinse your mouth and save any pieces. Use a cold pack for swelling. Call us.
Lost Filling or Crown
Keep the crown if you can. Call us. Avoid chewing on that side.
Abscess or Swelling
An infection can spread. Call us promptly. Rinse with warm salt water. Go to hospital if swelling affects breathing.
Bitten Lip or Tongue, or Object Stuck
Clean gently, apply pressure and a cold pack. Floss gently for stuck food. Do not use sharp tools.
