Existing patients can reach us after hours for emergencies.

Conditions That Constitute a Dental Emergency

  • Tooth has been knocked-out
  • Persistent toothache
  • Your tooth has broken
  • A cracked tooth
  • Your jaw might be broken

Helpful Tips for Dental Emergencies

Below you will find some helpful tips if you have had an accident or are in pain:

  • Toothache

    Rinse out your mouth using warm water, not cold, and gently floss to remove any food particles. You can apply a cold compress to the area if there is any swelling.

  • A lost filling

    You can create a temporary seal for the tooth using sugarless gum or an over-the-counter dental repair cement from your local drugstore.

  • Dental abscess

    Call our office immediately. Dental abscesses can lead to serious infection if untreated. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, using ½ teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of water. Repeat as needed.

  • A loose crown

     Crowns can sometimes be temporarily repaired at home. You will need to prepare the inside of the crown with toothpaste, denture adhesive or an over-the-counter dental cement. Then, carefully try to slip the crown back over your tooth. You should come into the office as soon as possible so the doctor can properly affix your crown.
