Dental emergencies happen when you least expect them. Knowing what to do in the first minutes can make the difference between saving and losing a tooth.
Common Dental Emergencies
- Knocked-out tooth: Hold it by the crown, rinse gently, place back in socket or in milk, and call us immediately.
- Broken tooth: Rinse mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress, call for same-day care.
- Severe toothache: Rinse with warm salt water, avoid aspirin on the gum, call us right away.
- Lost crown or filling: Use dental cement from a pharmacy temporarily and call us.
- Dental abscess: This is urgent — swelling, fever and pus require same-day attention.
