Dental problems can be painful, especially when they are emergencies or when the pain is sudden and severe. Dental pain can be minor at first and can worsen quickly. Accidents can happen at any time. We often treat dental emergencies at times when finding an open dental office is difficult, such as after hours, late at night or on weekends. Finding an emergency dentist doesn't have to be difficult. 

At our clinic, we can treat dental emergencies on the same day. Most dental pain or injuries do not require immediate emergency dental work. However, there are extreme circumstances in which an emergency dentist is required for care and treatment. Whatever the situation, we can help relieve your pain and discomfort and prevent permanent damage or bone loss. Simply call to schedule an emergency appointment today.

Tips for temporary relief of dental emergencies

• A broken or cracked tooth: Rinse the area of the broken tooth with warm water. Put a cold compress on the face to try to reduce the swelling. Use a cold compress to apply a cold compress to the tooth and try to apply a cold compress. Seek immediate dental care.
• Calcified permanent tooth: Retrieve the tooth, making sure to hold it by the tip (apex) rather than the root end.  Rinse with cold water, but do not clean or handle the tooth more than necessary. Reposition the tooth in place without touching the root and hold it in place using a clean piece of gauze or cloth. If the tooth cannot be repositioned, place it between your cheek and gums or in milk. Then visit a dentist immediately.
• Bleeding after a child's tooth falls out: Fold a piece of gauze and place it tightly over the bleeding area. Bite the gauze for 15 minutes; if the bleeding continues, schedule an appointment with the dentist.
• Pain in the teeth: First, carefully and completely clean the area around the toothache. You can rinse your mouth with warm, salted water to dislodge any food that may be trapped between the teeth. If you can, floss to remove any food that is still stuck in your mouth. If there is swelling on the face, apply a cold compress. For temporary pain relief, paracetamol is recommended. Do not put aspirin on the sore tooth or gum tissue. Visit a dentist as soon as possible.
• Detached temporary/transitional crown: If you still have your temporary, store it preferably not on a paper towel. Please call and schedule an office visit as soon as possible.
• Cut or bitten tongue, lip or cheek: Put ice on the bruise and apply firm pressure with sterile gauze or a clean cloth for any bleeding. If the bleeding does not stop with pressure or continues after 15 minutes, go to the nearest urgent care center or hospital emergency room.
