Compassionate Emergency Care You Can Rely On
Dental emergencies can happen at any time—even outside of regular office hours. Whether it’s sudden pain, an injury, or damage to your teeth, knowing how to respond quickly can make a big difference. Some situations clearly require immediate attention, while others may seem minor but still need professional care. Here’s a guide to handling common dental emergencies and knowing when to seek urgent treatment.
- Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Tooth: If your tooth is chipped or broken, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face to reduce swelling and pain. Call your dentist right away. If possible, save any broken pieces and bring them with you, wrapped in a moist cloth or gauze.
- Loose or Knocked-Out Tooth: If a tooth becomes loose or is knocked out, handle it carefully by the crown (the top part). Rinse it gently if it’s dirty, but avoid scrubbing or removing any attached tissue. Try to place the tooth back into the socket if possible. If reinsertion isn’t feasible, store it in milk or keep it in your mouth under the tongue and contact your dentist immediately.
- Tooth Pain: Severe or persistent tooth pain should never be ignored. It could indicate an infection or another serious issue. Avoid relying solely on painkillers—seek professional dental care for proper diagnosis and treatment.
- Bitten Lip or Tongue: For a bitten lip or tongue, gently clean the area with a wet cloth and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If bleeding doesn’t stop or is heavy, contact a dentist for emergency care.
Knowing how to respond during a dental emergency can protect your teeth and your overall health. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, don’t wait—reach out to a dental professional who provides urgent care as soon as possible.
