How to Handle a Dental Emergency Before You Arrive
Here are a few tips to manage common dental emergencies while you’re on your way to our office:
Toothache
Rinse your mouth with warm water, and gently floss around the tooth to remove any trapped debris.
Knocked-out tooth
If possible, place the tooth back in the socket without touching the root. If not, keep it in a container of milk and bring it with you.
Broken tooth
- Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth to reduce swelling.
Lost filling or crown
Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on the affected side. If you still have the crown, bring it with you to your appointment.
