Handling Common Dental Emergencies: A Detailed Guide

If you are currently experiencing a dental emergency here is a detailed guide on what to do before contacting our office as soon as possible:

General Tips

• First Aid: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss to remove any food caught between your teeth. If swelling is present, apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth or cheek.
• Expert Advice: Avoid applying heat or any painkillers directly to the gums, as this may worsen the situation!

Knocked-Out Tooth

• First Aid: Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse the tooth in water if it's dirty, but do not scrub. If possible, gently reinsert and hold the tooth in its socket. If that isn't feasible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or between your cheek and gums.
• Expert Advice: A knocked-out tooth has the highest chance of being saved if seen by a dentist and returned to its socket within one hour of being knocked out!

Broken or Chipped Tooth

• First Aid: Save any pieces. Rinse the mouth and any broken pieces with warm water. If there's bleeding, apply a piece of gauze to the area for about 10 minutes or until the bleeding stops. Apply a cold compress to the outside of the mouth, cheek, or lip near the broken/chipped tooth to reduce swelling and relieve pain.
• Expert Advice: Even if a chipped tooth doesn't seem serious, it's important to see a dentist like Dr. Starks to prevent any possible infection or further damage!

Lost Filling or Crown

• First Aid: If a crown falls off, try to save it and bring it with you to your emergency appointment. If a filling falls out, a temporary filling material found in drugstores can be applied.
• Expert Advice: Avoid sticky or hard foods, and chew on the opposite side of your mouth and contact us immediately to prevent further damage or infection!

• Experienced Care: Dr. Bianca Starks and our team are well-versed in emergency dentistry, providing skilled, swift interventions to relieve pain and address the issue.
