Tooth Care
Emergencies
A knocked out tooth or bitten tongue can cause panic in any parent, but quick thinking and staying calm are the best ways to approach such common dental emergencies and prevent additional unnecessary damage and costly dental restoration. This includes taking measures such as application of cold compresses to reduce swelling, and of course, contacting our office as soon as possible.
We understand that everyone has a different threshold for pain. But if you've had a toothache that's lasted several days or longer, it's time to find emergency dentist. The pain could be the result of tooth decay, or worse, a dental abscess. We can put an end to the pain and help prevent your condition from getting worse. The sooner you get help for a knocked out tooth or a broken tooth, the more we will be able to save it. To improve your chances, preserve your knocked out tooth in a glass of milk and bring it with you. For lost dental crowns or dental fillings, use a piece of sugarless gum to fill the gap and seek emergency dentistry care as soon as possible.
Dental accidents happen all the time, but that doesn't mean you have to suffer.
