Tips for dental emergencies

The first thing you should do if you think you have a dental emergency is to call us so we can get you into our schedule as soon as possible. We welcome both new and existing patients, so even if you are not an established patient at our dental practice yet, you can receive care when you need it. When you call, we will talk through your symptoms with you and offer guidance on what to do to reduce pain or preserve your tooth until you get into the office.

• If a tooth has been knocked out and is all in one piece, gently rinse it with tepid water and then try to reinsert it into the socket; if this is not possible, you can preserve it in a cup of milk to increase the chances that we are able to successfully save the tooth
• If your tooth has been chipped or broken, or if a dental restoration has come out, try to save the pieces to bring to the office with you
• If you are in pain or have swelling in your cheek or jaw, apply a cold compress to the affected area
• Over-the-counter pain relievers (used at the recommended dose) and clove oil or tooth numbing gels can also be used to alleviate pain
