Common Dental Emergency Treatment Suggestions
- Toothaches or Abscesses: Administer anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to ease discomfort, but seek professional treatment urgently as abscesses require care to prevent serious complications.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Preserve any tooth fragments, rinse the mouth, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling before contacting us for an appointment.
- Knocked-Out Teeth: Handle the tooth by the crown, rinse lightly, and attempt to reinsert if possible. Otherwise, keep it moist in milk and arrange an emergency visit promptly to elevate the likelihood of saving the tooth.
- Partially Knocked-Out Teeth: Implement over-the-counter pain relief and cold compresses, then secure an immediate appointment with us.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: Secure an appointment without delay. A temporary solution may be recommended until permanent restoration.
- Injury and Bleeding of Gums, Tongue, Cheeks, or Lips: Clean with salt water and apply pressure to stop bleeding, using a cold compress for discomfort. Persistent bleeding necessitates visiting our office or emergency care.
