What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Knocked-Out Tooth
Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If not possible, store it in milk or saliva and get to us immediately.

Severe Toothache
Rinse with warm salt water, use dental floss to remove any trapped food, and take over-the-counter pain medication. Call us right away.

Broken Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply gauze to any bleeding, and use a cold compress on your face. Save any broken pieces and call us.

Lost Filling or Crown
For a lost filling, you can temporarily fill the space with dental cement or sugar-free gum. For a lost crown, try to slip it back on with dental cement or toothpaste.

Abscess
This is a serious infection that requires immediate attention. Rinse with salt water and call us immediately.
