Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
Contact us immediately. We'll provide guidance on managing your situation until you can reach our office.
Can I avoid dental emergencies?
Many emergencies result from untreated dental issues. Regular checkups can help prevent potential emergencies before they occur.
How can I manage pain before my appointment?
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help alleviate discomfort. Avoid applying heat or aspirin directly to the affected area.
What if my child experiences a dental emergency?
Children are prone to accidents. We provide specialized care to address pediatric dental emergencies, ensuring your child feels safe and comfortable.
What should I do if I have a toothache?
A toothache can be a sign of various dental issues, ranging from a cavity to an abscess. As a first step, try rinsing your mouth with warm water and gently using dental floss to remove any food particles. If pain persists, contact us immediately for an evaluation and to prevent further complications.
How do I avoid dental emergencies?
Preventive measures include maintaining good oral hygiene, wearing a mouthguard during sports, avoiding chewing hard foods or objects that can crack your teeth, and regular dental check-ups to identify and treat potential issues before they escalate into emergencies.
Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
Yes, a knocked-out (avulsed) tooth can often be saved if you act quickly. Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that's not possible, keep it moist in milk or a tooth preservation product and seek immediate dental care.
What is considered a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include severe toothache, knocked-out teeth, loose or missing fillings, abscesses, swelling, bleeding that won't stop, and injuries to the mouth or jaw. If you're experiencing any of these issues, it's crucial to seek immediate dental care to prevent further damage or complications.
How quickly do I need to act in a dental emergency?
Immediate action is often crucial in a dental emergency to save a tooth, prevent infection, or alleviate severe pain. Contact us as soon as possible for advice and to arrange an emergency appointment. We strive to see emergency cases promptly to provide relief and necessary treatment.
