When to Call an Emergency Dentist

How To Handle Common Dental Emergencies
When a dental emergency occurs, it is best to reach out to your local emergency dentist. If you cannot visit a dental office right away, here are some tips for treating some common emergencies.
- Toothaches
Rinse and floss around the tooth that is causing you pain to try to dislodge what is caught between your teeth and causing the pain. If that doesn’t help or pain still persists, you can use an OTC toothache treatment and a cold compress for temporary relief.
- Lost Filling/Crown
If you find the restoration, clean off any debris, and attempt to put it back in place. A little bit of toothpaste can help with this. If that does not work, put it in a safe container and avoid chewing with that tooth until you can see us.
- Chipped/Broken Tooth
Rinse the mouth with warm water to clean it. Try to recover any large piece of the tooth that you can place in a safe container. If the piece of the tooth that remains has a jagged edge that is irritating the inside of the mouth, you can cover it with either sugarless gum or dental wax.
