Common Dental Emergencies & Injuries
We treat a wide range of dental emergencies, including:
- Severe toothaches
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Knocked-out teeth
- Abscesses or dental infections
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Gum injuries
If you’re unsure whether your issue is an emergency, call us—we’ll help you decide the best course of action.
How to Handle a Dental Emergency or Injury
Here’s what you can do before coming in:
- Toothache – Rinse your mouth with warm water and take over-the-counter pain relievers. Avoid applying aspirin directly to the gums.
- Knocked-Out Tooth – Gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or a tooth preservation product and get to our office immediately.
- Chipped or Broken Tooth – Rinse your mouth, save any broken pieces, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Lost Filling or Crown – Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. If you can, temporarily place the crown back on using dental cement from a pharmacy.
Gentle Sedation Options
We understand that dental emergencies can be stressful. That’s why we offer gentle sedation options to help you stay calm and comfortable during your visit. Whether you need mild sedation to ease anxiety or deeper sedation for a complex procedure, our team will ensure you feel at ease every step of the way.
