How to Prep for Emergency Services
There’s no predicting what oral health disaster will befall you next, but here are some of the emergency problems we commonly deal with, and what you can do to keep calm and minimize damage before you come in.
- Chipped Tooth: Despite the discomfort, there’s a lot you can do to keep down the swelling of a broken tooth before you see our specialists. Wash the tooth with lukewarm water and use a cold compress until you come in the office.
- Lost tooth: If you lose a tooth to an injury or other reasons, see if you can find it and keep it safe. Make sure to avoid touching the root, and either put the tooth back in your mouth or store it in warm milk until your visit.
- Tooth Pain: Mouth discomfort can be caused by a wide variety of factors, but until are team can determine what the problem is you should gently rinse the spot with warm water and gently remove any trapped food particles with a tooth brush. Note: Aspirin can damage your teeth and gums, so never let it directly contact your jaw.
- Trapped Object: If something is stuck in your teeth and causing you pain, try to gently remove it with floss, never a tooth pick or other sharp object.
