Emergency dental care tips

If you find yourself in a dental emergency, time is of the essence. While we strive to see you quickly, there are steps you can take to alleviate pain and prevent further damage.

Knocked-out tooth – Act swiftly to increase the chances of saving your tooth. Gently rinse it with water, avoiding touching the root. If possible, carefully reinsert the tooth into its socket, ensuring it’s positioned correctly. If reinsertion isn’t feasible, store the tooth in milk or saltwater.

Chipped tooth – Rinse your mouth with warm water and collect any tooth fragments. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and use gauze to control bleeding.

Lost Filling or Crown – If you have the lost filling or crown, keep it safe. You may be able to temporarily reattach it using sugar-free gum or over-the-counter dental cement. This is just a temporary solution, and you should contact us as soon as possible to be seen by a dentist.

Abscess – Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relievers. Let us know when you are booking your appointment that you are in pain, and we will see you as quickly as possible. If you experience a high fever, severe pain, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention at the nearest hospital.
