What To Do During a Dental Emergency

Understanding how to handle tooth emergencies helps make them less stressful. Here are some tips on what you can do during common dental emergencies.

Gather the pieces of a broken tooth, if possible, and bring them for repair.
Carefully transport a knocked-out tooth with milk, saliva, or by placing it back into its socket.
Don’t wait to seek treatment for a toothache, as an infection can spread to other critical areas of your body.
Contact us for prompt repair of a broken or cracked denture so you don’t have to live without your teeth.

How to Avoid Dental Emergencies

Did you know that many dental emergencies could’ve been prevented? With routine check-ups, our dentists can spot many problems early on before they become more significant, painful, and result in a tooth emergency.

For example, if we find a small area of tooth decay during your exam, you can restore your tooth to health with a simple dental filling. Tooth decay that goes unnoticed or untreated can progress further into the tooth until it reaches the nerve and may cause a painful toothache. If that happens, you’ll need a more complex root canal to resolve the situation, alleviate pain, and save your natural tooth structure.
