Know when to call us immediately
Severe Toothache
Persistent, severe pain may indicate an infection that needs immediate attention. Don't wait - call us right away.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
Save any fragments and rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is critical. Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Try to reinsert it or keep it in milk until you reach our office.
Lost Filling or Crown
If a crown falls off, keep it safe and bring it with you. Avoid chewing on that side until we can see you.
Abscess
A painful, swollen area in your gums may indicate an infection. This can be serious if left untreated.
Bleeding or Injury
Persistent bleeding after an injury or dental procedure needs immediate evaluation.
Emergency Tips
What to do while you wait for your appointment
For Pain
Take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for swelling.
For a Broken Tooth
Save any pieces, rinse your mouth with warm water, and apply gauze if there's bleeding.
For a Knocked-Out Tooth
Handle carefully, don't touch the root. Place it back in the socket if possible, or in milk or saliva.
