Emergency Dental Care Services
Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them—even outside of regular office hours. Whether it’s sudden pain, an injury, or damage to your teeth, knowing how to respond and when to seek help is crucial. Some situations clearly require immediate attention, while others may seem minor but still need professional evaluation. Here’s a guide to handling common dental emergencies:
Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Tooth
If your tooth is chipped or broken, gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Contact a dentist immediately. If possible, bring any broken pieces of the tooth with you, wrapped in a moist cloth or gauze.
Loose or Knocked-Out Tooth
If a tooth becomes loose or is knocked out, try to carefully place it back in the socket, holding it by the crown. If it’s dirty, rinse it gently without scrubbing or removing any attached tissue. If reinsertion isn’t possible, store the tooth in milk or under your tongue, and get to a dentist immediately.
Severe Tooth Pain
Persistent or severe tooth pain should never be ignored, as it may indicate infection or another serious dental issue. Avoid relying solely on painkillers—seek professional care for proper diagnosis and relief.
Bitten Lip or Tongue
If you bite your lip or tongue, gently clean the area with a damp cloth and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If bleeding is heavy or doesn’t stop, contact a dentist for immediate treatment.
