Knocked-Out Teeth

If you lose a tooth in an accident or due to a blow to the mouth, it’s important to act quickly. Try to find the tooth and pick it up by the crown (the white part) using clean hands. If the root is dirty, gently rinse it off with water. Do not scrub the tooth or remove any attached tissue. If you can, try to insert the tooth back into its socket. If that’s not possible, put the tooth in a cup of milk. Finally, call us right away and visit our dental clinic.

Fractured or Cracked Teeth

You must visit our emergency dentistry clinic immediately for a if you have a cracked or fractured tooth. A cracked tooth can worsen over time and may need to be extracted. In the meantime, try to avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and eat soft foods. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with any pain. We can save a cracked or fractured tooth with dental crowns, but an extraction may be necessary if that’s not possible.

Severe Toothaches

If you have a toothache that is severe and lasts longer than a day or two, you must contact us immediately, especially if the toothache is accompanied by a fever, swelling, or other signs of infection. Toothaches can be caused by decay, infection, grinding your teeth at night, and numerous other problems. Your dentist will determine the precise cause of your toothache and offer an appropriate treatment plan.

Excessive Bleeding

If you experience excessive bleeding from your gums or after brushing your teeth, you may have gingivitis or periodontitis. If you notice bleeding, please visit our dental clinic without delay. The dentist will administer numerous tests to evaluate the root cause of bleeding, determine if you have gum disease, and curate a personalized emergency treatment plan to restore optimal oral health.
