How Can We Help During Your Dental Emergency?

Accidents happen and being prepared when a dental emergency arises can make a difference in preserving your teeth for years to come.

Tooth Is Knocked Out

Tooth Is Knocked Out

Baby teeth should not be replanted to prevent damage to adult teeth. Permanent teeth should be rinsed lightly with water or milk if soiled. Do not scrub the tooth. If possible, replace the tooth in the socket quickly. If not possible, store the tooth in milk, saliva, or appropriate tooth preservation product. Under both circumstances, go to your dentist office as soon as possible.

Toothache

Toothache

Rinse mouth with warm water to clean the oral cavity. Floss tooth to remove food that is caught between teeth. Do not place any NSAIDs (ie: Tylelol, Aspirin, Goody’s) directly on the area that hurts. This can kill the surrounding tissues and severe tissue damage. Over the counter NSAIDs are safe to be taken as specified on the label. See your dentist as soon as possible.

Broken Tooth
