What do I do in a Dental Emergency?
Keep Calm & Reduce Bleeding
Keep Calm & Reduce Bleeding
Dental emergencies can turn an ordinary day into a stressful experience, but it's crucial to remain calm because your dentist is here to assist you. Start by taking a deep breath and assessing the situation. If there's any bleeding from your dental injury, use a sterile gauze strip to apply pressure to the affected area. Maintain the pressure until the bleeding stops or until you reach our office.
Control Swelling & Pain
Control Swelling & Pain
If you're experiencing pain or swelling, you can temporarily alleviate it using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. However, avoid aspirin and similar blood-thinning medications, as they may hinder clot formation and make it more challenging to stop bleeding. In addition to medication, apply a cold compress to the cheek or lip near the affected area for relief.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions

If you accidentally knock out a tooth, act quickly to improve the chances of saving it. Gently pick up the tooth by its top part (the crown), avoiding touching the root. Rinse it carefully with warm water to remove debris, without scrubbing. If possible, try reinserting it into the socket without forcing it. If it doesn't fit easily, store it in cold milk and contact us right away for guidance and to prepare for your visit. Time is of the essence — the tooth needs to be replaced and splinted within 1-2 hours to avoid further damage.
If any of your dental work, such as a filling or crown, has fallen out, it's important to take action right away. Place the dental piece in a plastic bag or container and bring it with you to our office. Then, contact us right away to set up an emergency appointment. Losing dental work can leave sensitive parts of your mouth exposed to bacteria, which can cause infections, decay, or other problems. Don't wait to call us so we can fix your dental work and protect your smile.
If you have a severe toothache for more than two days, it might mean there's an infection that needs immediate care. Call us right away to make an appointment. To ease the pain temporarily, apply a cold compress to your cheek, take pain relievers from the pharmacy, or use a numbing gel like Orajel. Keep in mind that professional help will be required to treat the cause of the toothache and prevent more serious problems. A root canal might be necessary to save the tooth.
If you chip, break, or crack a tooth, you need professional care to assess the damage and prevent further problems. It's difficult to know how bad the damage is without a full examination. Ignoring it can lead to infections and other issues. Call us immediately for an appointment so we can check the damage, determine how to fix and protect your tooth, and create a plan to get you out of pain.
If your tooth is loose because of an injury, it's important to get in touch with us immediately for a same-day appointment. Not taking care of a loose tooth promptly can cause the nerves that support the tooth to die, which could lead to losing the tooth. To keep it stable, please don't play with the loose tooth using your tongue or fingers. Once you're in our office for emergency treatment, the dentist will secure the loose tooth to the ones next to it using a stabilizing splint. This splint helps support and begins the healing process, helping your tooth to reattach to the gums. Please, don't hesitate to contact us for assistance — we're here to help save your tooth.
