01.
Before Your Emergency Appointment
If you’re facing a dental emergency, call our office right away to schedule a same-day visit. In the meantime, there are steps you can take to ease discomfort and protect your teeth. For severe toothaches, gently rinse your mouth with warm water and use over-the-counter pain relievers if needed. If a tooth is knocked out, carefully pick it up by the crown and place it in a container of milk or saline until you can see us. For broken crowns or fillings, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and save any pieces to bring with you. Acting quickly helps us provide the most effective treatment and the best chance of saving your tooth.
02.
After Your Emergency Appointment
Once your immediate concern has been addressed, following our post-treatment instructions is key to healing and preventing complications. Depending on the procedure, you may need to rest, avoid chewing on the treated area or take prescribed medication to manage discomfort and prevent infection. If oral sedation was used, arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and allow extra time to recover. Our team will also discuss follow-up care, such as scheduling a permanent restoration or additional treatment if needed. By closely following these guidelines, you’ll support a smooth recovery and protect your long-term oral health.
