Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I chip a tooth?
If you have a chipped tooth, gently rinse your mouth with warm water to remove loose debris. If swelling develops, applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for short periods may help. Contact a dentist to have the tooth checked.
What should I do with a knocked-out adult tooth?
If you have a knocked out tooth, carefully pick it up and hold it by the crown, not the root. Keep it moist in milk or a tooth-preservation solution and seek prompt dental care. Do not scrub the root or try to put the tooth back into the socket yourself.
What should I do after an injury to my mouth?
Dental injuries can affect the teeth, gums, and other soft tissues in your mouth. Gently rinse your mouth with warm water and avoid touching the injured area. If you have severe bleeding, swelling, or pain, seek prompt professional care.
Are lost fillings or crowns considered dental emergencies?
Lost fillings or crowns should be checked by a dentist, especially if the tooth becomes painful or sensitive. If you are experiencing a dental emergency, call our dental office to schedule an appointment. A counter pain reliever may help with temporary discomfort when taken as directed and when safe for you.
Can good oral care help prevent dental emergencies?
Maintaining good oral hygiene can lower the risk of tooth decay, gum problems, and some dental infections. Brush twice a day, floss regularly, and attend routine dental visits. Accidents can still happen, but daily care can help protect your teeth and gums.
