Common Dental Emergencies
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Dental emergencies vary in severity, but knowing how to act quickly can minimize damage and relieve discomfort. Below are some common dental emergencies we treat and what you can do while waiting to see us.
Toothache
What to do: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. If swelling occurs, apply a cold compress to the outside of your face. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the affected tooth or gum.
Why it matters: Toothaches can be caused by cavities, gum disease, or infections. Immediate care can prevent the problem from worsening and causing more severe pain.
Knocked-Out Tooth
What to do: Pick up the tooth by the crown (avoid touching the root). Rinse it gently with water. If possible, place the tooth back into its socket. If not, store it in milk or a saline solution.
Why it matters: Acting quickly can greatly increase the chances of saving the tooth. Call our office immediately for an emergency appointment.
Cracked Tooth
What to do: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on the affected side to prevent further damage.
Why it matters: A cracked tooth can lead to further complications if not addressed quickly, potentially causing infection or more severe pain.
Lost Filling or Crown
What to do: If a filling falls out, use dental wax or sugar-free gum to cover the exposed area. For a lost crown, try to replace it on the tooth using a temporary dental adhesive.
Why it matters: Without proper protection, the exposed tooth is vulnerable to decay and further damage. Call us right away to have it restored.
Abscessed Tooth
What to do: An abscess is an infection that requires immediate attention. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help alleviate discomfort, but do not attempt to pop the abscess.
Why it matters: An untreated abscess can spread infection, potentially causing serious health complications. Immediate care is essential to prevent this.
Chipped Tooth
What to do: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the affected area. If you find any broken pieces of the tooth, save them and bring them with you to your appointment.
Why it matters: If left untreated, a chipped tooth can lead to infection or more serious damage. Prompt attention is key to preventing further issues.
