Emergency Dentistry

As a dental patient, you may experience dental emergencies at any time, which can cause much pain and stress. Dental emergencies can take many forms, such as
• knocked-out tooth
• A broken or chipped tooth
• A severe toothache
• Bleeding gums

As Emergency dentists, we have the tools and expertise to assess the situation and provide appropriate treatment quickly

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

If you experience a dental emergency, the first thing to do is to remain calm. Then, contact us as soon as possible.

In the meantime, there are a few steps you can take to alleviate pain and prevent further damage:

• If you have a knocked-out tooth, try to place it back in the socket or keep it moist in a container of milk or saliva.
• If you have a chipped or broken tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to your cheek to reduce swelling.
• If you have a severe toothache, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to your cheek. You can also take over-the-counter pain medication, but avoid placing aspirin directly on the affected tooth, which can cause burning and discomfort.

It’s important to note that not all dental issues are emergencies. By being prepared and knowing what to do in a dental emergency, you can help ensure prompt and effective care for your dental health. If you need clarification on whether your situation requires emergency care, contact us for guidance.

In addition to the common dental emergencies mentioned earlier, there are other situations where you may need to seek emergency dental care. These include:

• A loose or dislodged tooth: If a tooth is partially or fully dislodged, seeking immediate dental attention is vital. The tooth may be able to be repositioned and saved if treated promptly.
• A broken jaw: If you suspect you have a fractured jaw, immediately seek emergency medical attention. In the meantime, apply a cold compress to your face to help reduce swelling.
• Severe bleeding: If you experience uncontrolled bleeding in your mouth, seek emergency dental care immediately. Apply pressure to the affected area with gauze or a cloth to help stop the bleeding.

With the latest technology and techniques, you can trust us to care for your dental needs.
