We know dental emergencies are stressful and disruptive. Our efficient care process is designed to resolve your issue promptly, so you can return to your daily routine with comfort and confidence.
What to Do During a Dental Emergency
Stay Calm
Take deep breaths and try to remain as calm as possible. Panic can make pain feel worse.
Manage Pain and Bleeding
Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling and take over-the-counter pain relief if needed. For bleeding, gently bite down on a clean cloth or gauze.
Protect the Tooth
If a tooth is knocked out, try to handle it by the crown (the chewing surface), not the root. Rinse it gently with water if dirty, and keep it moist by placing it in milk or saliva. Bring it with you to your appointment.
Avoid Eating or Drinking
Until your emergency visit, avoid eating hard foods or drinking very hot or cold beverages that might worsen pain or damage.
