Common Dental Emergencies
- Bitten lip or tongue: Apply gauze to stop bleeding, then ice pack to limit inflammation. If the bleeding does not stop, contact our office.
- Object caught in teeth: Thorough brushing and flossing to remove the object. If you are unable to dislodge the object, contact our office.
- Broken, chipped, or fractured tooth: If you are in pain, call the office immediately. If there is no pain with normal use, call us soon, but there is less urgency.
- Knocked-out tooth: if the tooth is clean, replace it in the socket, then call the office immediately. If it is dirty, place it in a cup of milk and call the office. Try not to touch the area of the tooth that is supposed to go under the gums (the roots).
- Toothache: Use OTC pain relievers (Advil or Tylenol) or a topical anesthetic like Orajel as directed, and call the office to schedule an appointment.
- Facial Swelling/Abscess: Call the office immediately. If it is affecting your ability to breathe, go to the emergency room.
