Typical Dental Emergency Issues
A Toothache: Start by rinsing out your mouth (even the pained area) with warm water. Then gently check with dental floss for food or debris that may be stuck between your teeth. Some people try applying aspirin or other painkillers directly to their gums, but this can damage and burn your gum tissue.
A Broken Tooth: Call us as soon as you can. Use warm water to rinse out your mouth. Use a cold compress or ice bag to keep the swelling to a minimum.
Tooth Knocked Out: Call us right away. Try to recover and save the tooth, and rinse off its roots without removing or scrubbing the tissue. You can try and re-insert the tooth, or you can simply put the tooth in a glass of milk and bring it to our office.
Please remember that any kind of pain is a sign that something is wrong. If the pain stops, do not assume that the problem is gone. Make sure you visit your emergency dentist as soon as you can.
