A
dental
emergency
can
be
a
scary
experience,
especially
if
you
don’t
know
what
how
to
handle
it.
Fortunately,
we’re
here
to
help!
If
you
experience
a
dental

Emergencies
don’t
go
away
on
their
own.
We
always
leave
room
in
our
schedule
to
fit
in
anyone
who
needs
same-day
emergency
dental
care.
In
the
moments
following
an
emergency,
however,
what
should
you
do?
Here
are
a
few
tips
on
how
to
handle
the
most
common
dental
emergencies:
For
mild
to
severe
pain
in
your
tooth,
carefully
brush
and
floss
around
your
tooth
to
remove
any
food
particles
that
could
be
causing
your
discomfort.
Then,
rinse
out
your
mouth
with
warm
salt
water
to
help
clean
the
area.
For
any
swelling,
gently
apply
a
cold
compress
to
the
affected
area.
But
if
the
ache
persists,
you
should
come
in
and
see
us
right
away.
Your
toothache
could
be
caused
by
advanced
tooth
decay
or
an
infection,
like
an
abscess,
that
needs
immediate
treatment.
If
the
break
or
chip
was
caused
by
an
injury
(like
falling
or
getting
hit
in
the
face),
look
around
for
any
fragments
lying
around.
Bring
them
with
you
to
our
office.
Clean
your
mouth
with
warm
water
and
put
a
cold
washcloth
over
the
injured
part
of
your
face.
Even
if
the
chip
is
small
and
isn’t
causing
pain,
still
do
call
us
soon
to
make
an
appointment.
A
chip
weakens
your
tooth
and
more
could
break
off
if
you
ignore
it.
There
could
also
be
a
crack
that
is
hard
to
see
with
the
naked
eye,
which
would
put
your
sensitive
inner
tooth
at
risk
for
damage.
A
lost/cracked
filling
or
broken
dental
restoration
are
also
considered
emergencies,
so
give
us
a
call
if
you
experience
either
of
them!
Getting
an
adult
tooth
knocked
out
of
your
mouth
is
a
serious
injury.
The
first
thing
you
should
do
is
to
find
the
tooth
and
carefully
pick
it
up
by
the
crown,
not
the
root.
Rinse
off
any
dirt
or
debris
with
water
or
milk.
Then,
gently
try
to
return
it
to
the
tooth
socket
and
bite
down
on
a
piece
of
gauze
to
hold
it
in
place.
If
you
can’t
put
it
back,
keep
it
moist
in
a
cup
of
milk
and
bring
it
with
you
to
our
office
so
we
can
reattach
it.
