Common Emergencies
We handle a wide range of dental emergencies, from broken tooth to abscesses or lost teeth. The steps you take at home can make a big difference in recovery:
- Toothache: Rinse with warm water and floss gently to dislodge food particles. Apply a cold compress for swelling. Contact us if the toothache persists.
- Fractured Tooth: Rinse with warm water and apply a cold compress for swelling. Contact us immediately for treatment.
- Abscessed Tooth: Seek emergency care for abscesses or infections. Keep the area clean and apply a cold compress for swelling. Call us immediately.
- Soft Tissue Laceration: Rinse the area with warm water and apply pressure with clean gauze. Contact us if bleeding persists after 15 minutes.
- Tooth Avulsion: If a primary tooth is knocked out, do not try to reinsert it. Visit us immediately. For a permanent tooth, rinse it gently and try to place it back in the socket, or store it in milk or saliva and bring it to us.
