While it's essential to contact us as soon as you encounter an emergency, there are steps you can take to help yourself until you see us:
How to Handle a Dental Emergency
Toothache
Gently rinse your mouth with warm water. Take an over-the-counter pain medication and use a cold compress on your cheek in the affected area to help reduce pain and inflammation.
Lost Crown or Filling
If you have a lost crown, keep it safe and bring it with you when you visit. Avoid chewing on that side.
Broken Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the affected area if you experience pain or swelling. If you can find the piece of the tooth that broke off, please bring it to your emergency appointment.
