What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Knowing how to respond to a dental emergency can make a significant difference in the outcome. Here's a quick guide for some common situations:
Knocked-Out Tooth
Plan: Find the tooth, keep it moist, and contact us immediately.
- Hold the tooth by the crown (top) and rinse it gently with water.
- If possible, place it back in the socket and bite down gently on gauze.
- If reinsertion isn’t possible, store it in milk, saline, or inside your cheek to keep it moist.
- Seek urgent dental care—the sooner, the better!
Broken or Chipped Tooth
Plan: Rinse your mouth, control bleeding, and avoid hard foods.
- Rinse with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- If bleeding occurs, gently bite down on gauze or a clean cloth.
- Avoid chewing on the affected side and schedule a visit as soon as possible.
Severe Toothache
Plan: Rinse, take pain relief if needed, and contact us immediately.
- Rinse with warm salt water to soothe irritation.
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers, but avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum.
- Seek prompt evaluation to address the underlying issue.
Lost Filling or Crown
Plan: Keep the crown if possible and protect the exposed area.
- If you have the crown, store it safely—we may be able to reattach it.
- Use temporary dental cement (available at pharmacies) to cover the exposed area.
- Avoid chewing on the affected side and schedule an appointment.
Abscess or Swelling
Plan: Do not ignore swelling—contact us urgently.
- Rinse with warm salt water to help reduce discomfort.
- Take pain relief as needed, but avoid heat packs, which can worsen infection.
- Seek emergency dental care, as untreated abscesses can lead to serious complications.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Plan: Control bleeding and monitor for signs of infection.
- Rinse with warm salt water to keep the area clean.
- Apply pressure with gauze or a clean cloth to stop bleeding.
- If the bleeding doesn’t stop after 10 minutes or is severe, seek medical attention.
Jaw Pain or Possible Fracture
Plan: Immobilize the jaw and seek emergency care.
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Avoid opening and closing your mouth excessively.
- Seek immediate medical attention if there’s severe pain, swelling, or difficulty moving the jaw.
