Tips for Common Dental Emergencies
While you’re on your way to our office, these steps can help protect your teeth and tissues:
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep the tooth moist in milk or your mouth. Avoid touching the root.
- Broken Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Toothache: Rinse with warm water and floss gently to remove trapped debris.
- Lost Filling or Crown: Cover the area with dental cement from a pharmacy until you can be seen.
Preventing Future Dental Emergencies
While some emergencies are unavoidable, regular preventive care like dental exams and cleanings and wearing a custom mouthguard for sports can reduce your risk.
