Common Dental Emergencies & Immediate Tips
Tooth Pain or Sensitivity:
Often caused by decay, infection, or trauma. Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce discomfort. We’ll identify the source and provide fast relief in-office.
Dental Abscess:
A serious infection that can develop in or around a tooth and spread quickly. Look for swelling, pain or a pimple-like bump. Urgent treatment is needed.
Knocked-Out Tooth:
Time is critical – call us right away! Rinse the tooth gently, try to place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk/saliva and get to our office within 30-60 minutes.
Cracked or Broken Tooth:
Rinse your mouth and place a cold compress against your face to reduce any swelling. Seek prompt evaluation to prevent infection.
Lost Crown or Filling:
Do not attempt to repair or reattach it at home. Bring the crown or filling to your appointment, and we will safely recement or replace it in-office.
Oral Injuries or Bleeding:
Heavy, uncontrolled bleeding can be a serious emergency that may require a visit to your nearest emergency room. Meanwhile, apply pressure to the wounded area with a cold compress to control the bleeding.
Pediatric Dental Emergencies:
From playground accidents to baby teeth issues, our board-certified pediatric dentists are specially trained to handle children’s dental emergencies gently and effectively.
Orthodontic Emergencies:
Loose brackets, poking wires, or broken appliances can often be managed with orthodontic wax and addressed at your next visit. However, if you experience pain or difficulty eating, please contact us — our orthodontist will see you promptly to keep your treatment on track.
