Dental Emergency FAQs
What to do if a tooth is knocked out?
If your tooth gets knocked out, gently pick it up by the crown and rinse off any debris. If you can, place the tooth back into the socket and bite down on a piece of gauze to hold it in place. If putting it back in isn’t an option, we recommend putting it in a cup of milk and transporting it with you to our office.
How to handle a chipped tooth?
If you chip your tooth, don’t worry! You have a few treatment options to choose from depending on which tooth it is and the severity of the chip. Our team provides dental bonding and custom dental crowns that are both great options for fixing a chipped tooth.
What are my options for toothache relief?
If you have a toothache, try brushing around the tooth to dislodge any trapped food or debris that may be causing the discomfort. If your toothache continues, please call our office for a consultation right away. Our team can examine your tooth to determine the source of the pain and help you get the relief you need!
What are the common signs and symptoms I should be aware of?
If you have obstructive sleep apnea, some of the most common signs include loud snoring, stopping breathing while asleep, gasping for air during sleep, dry mouth on waking, morning headaches, insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia), and mood changes. It’s important to talk with your doctor and/or dentist if you believe you may suffer from sleep apnea.
Can sleep apnea be cured, or is it a manageable condition?
Yes! In many cases, sleep apnea can be either cured or managed depending on the root cause of the disorder. If you’re curious about the options available to you, call our office to schedule your consultation.
Will sleep apnea treatment need to be continued for life?
Many who receive sleep apnea treatment are lifelong patients. The root cause of your sleep apnea will often dictate treatment options and how long you can expect to continue treatment for sleep apnea.
