Emergency Care We Provide

What to Do Before You Reach Our Office
If you're experiencing a dental emergency, these steps can help protect your teeth and reduce discomfort while you arrange to see us:
- Toothache: Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and use floss carefully to remove any food or debris that may be caught around the affected tooth. If pain or swelling persists, call our office to schedule an appointment.
- Knocked-Out Permanent Tooth: Handle the tooth only by the crown and avoid touching the root. Rinse it gently with water if needed, then try to place it back into the socket and bite down on clean gauze to hold it in position. If you cannot reinsert the tooth, keep it moist in a small container of milk or saliva and bring it with you to your appointment. Time is critical — contact us immediately.
- Chipped or Broken Tooth: Rinse the area with lukewarm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your face to manage swelling. If you can find the broken piece, place it in milk and bring it to the office.
- Knocked-Out Baby Tooth: Do not attempt to reinsert the tooth. Call our office to schedule an appointment so we can evaluate the area and ensure the surrounding teeth and tissue are not affected.
- Cut or Injury to the Lip, Gums, or Cheek: Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or sterile gauze to control bleeding, and use ice to help reduce swelling. If bleeding does not stop, contact your physician or visit your local emergency room.
