What’s the best way to handle a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, from sudden toothaches to broken or knocked-out teeth. Stay calm and contact our team immediately for guidance. Rinse your mouth gently, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and preserve any lost tooth in milk or saliva. Avoid chewing on the affected area. Prompt care can relieve pain, prevent complications, and help save your smile. If bleeding occurs, use gauze and gentle pressure.

What should I do if I have a knocked out tooth?
Knocking out a tooth can be scary, but quick action can make a big difference. Gently pick up the tooth by the crown, avoiding the root, and rinse it lightly if dirty. Try to put it back in the socket, but if not, keep it moist in milk or saliva and call your dentist immediately. Contact us for care as soon as possible for the best chance of saving the tooth right away today.
