Emergency Care at Home
Until we are able to see you in the office, here are some common dental emergencies and how to handle them.
Lost or broken tooth
If your tooth is broken or out completely attempt to place it carefully back in the socket but be sure to not touch the root. If that’s not possible, put the tooth in milk and bring it to the office as soon as possible—ideally within 30 minutes, so there’s a greater likelihood of the tooth being saved.
A toothache
A toothache can be the result of a cavity, impacted tooth, infection or injury. Until you can get into the office, our doctor recommends taking safe analgesic medication.
Bitten lip or tongue
It’s essential to carefully clean the area that’s been bitten with water. Next, apply a cold compress to bring relief. If you experience significant bleeding please seek emergency medical attention as soon as possible.
