Love this place. All the dentist and hygienists are great the office staff is super friendly and so helpful. They always are able to work me in when we have an emergency. They are upfront with prices so there is no guessing game on how much I owe.

loose teeth or restorations.

Guidance on Common Dental Emergencies

I. Dental Pain and Swelling

If you are experiencing pain, it is essential to contact our office immediately. Dental pain indicates a condition that needs to be treated and will worsen without treatment in nearly all cases. Untreated dental conditions can also have serious consequences to your general health.

II. Tooth Knocked Out by Impact (Avulsed tooth)

1. If a tooth has been knocked completely out of the mouth, it is essential to see our office immediately. This condition damages tissues, nerves, and blood vessels. If the tooth can be placed back into its socket quickly enough there is a chance the tooth may be saved.

2. Some Steps to Take:

Call our office immediately
Pick up the tooth or crown and rinse it under warm water. Do not touch the root of the tooth.
If possible, place it back into its socket – if you cannot replace it then place it in your cheek pouch until you can be seen in a dental office.
If the tooth cannot be placed in the mouth, keep it moist by placing into a cup of milk, water, or saliva to keep the tooth from drying out.
We will try to replace the tooth in its natural socket if this is possible or we may recommend root canal therapy and a restoration.
