What is Emergency Dental Care?

Emergency dental care addresses urgent issues that require immediate attention to alleviate pain, prevent further damage, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent or intense pain that interferes with daily activities.
• Broken or Chipped Teeth: Accidents or injuries that compromise the structure of a tooth.
• Knocked-Out Teeth: A tooth that has been completely dislodged due to trauma.
• Dental Abscess: Infections in the gums or around a tooth that can cause swelling, pain, and fever.
• Lost Fillings or Crowns: Exposed areas of the tooth that can lead to sensitivity or further damage.

How to Handle a Dental Emergency

While waiting for your appointment, there are steps you can take to minimize discomfort and protect your oral health:

• Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the affected area.
• Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• For knocked-out teeth, keep the tooth moist by placing it in a glass of milk or a tooth preservation solution.
• Avoid touching the root of a knocked-out tooth to prevent further damage.
