How to Handle a Dental Emergency Before Your Visit

While it’s essential to see a dentist as soon as possible, here are some steps you can take to manage a dental emergency until you arrive at our office:

  • For a Knocked-Out Tooth: Gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing it. Place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in a container of milk or saliva to preserve it.
  • For Severe Tooth Pain: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and use over-the-counter pain relievers. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth.
  • For a Broken Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any broken pieces if possible.
  • For a Lost Filling or Crown: Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. Bring the restoration with you to your appointment.
  • For Soft Tissue Injuries: Apply gentle pressure with gauze to stop bleeding and rinse with warm salt water to prevent infection.
