Tips for Dealing with Dental Emergencies

Bitten Lip or Tongue

Gently clean the area with a clean cloth and apply a cold pack to reduce any swelling. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, visit the nearest hospital emergency room.

Toothache
First, rinse your mouth with warm water, gently cleaning the surfaces. Follow up by gently using dental floss or another type of interdental cleaner, making sure that any food or debris is not caught between the teeth. Do not put aspirin or other painkiller against the gums, it may burn the gum tissue. It is ok to use a cold compress, but do NOT use a heat pack, as it will encourage the infection to spread. Call us for an appointment.
Broken or Knocked Out Tooth

Time is the most important determinate of a successful re-implantation of a tooth. Remain calm, follow these steps, and call us immediately:

If you have the tooth and it appears to be intact:

  • You should attempt to insert it back into its socket and then contact us immediately.
  • Rinse the tooth gently before inserting it.
  • Try not to touch or remove any biologic material from the root surface.
  • If you have difficulty re-inserting the tooth, place it in a glass of milk.
  • Contact us immediately, after hours contact information will be on our message.

If the tooth is missing or shattered:

  • Gather as many of the fragments of the tooth as you can, place it in a glass of milk, and call us immediately.
  • If the tooth is missing, call us immediately.

If the tooth is chipped or displaced (crooked):

  • Try to assess if the person can bite correctly.
  • Always call to be on the safe side.
