What To Do Before Your Emergency Visit

• Toothache: Rinse with warm salt water, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek, and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed.
• Knocked-out tooth: Keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva. Do not scrub roots. Get to our office within an hour if possible.
• Broken tooth: Rinse gently, apply gauze to bleeding areas, and use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Lost restoration: Save the piece if possible and avoid chewing on the affected side.

Our Emergency Approach

We prioritize pain relief first, then assess the full situation with digital imaging and a thorough exam. Treatment options are explained clearly, and we work to resolve the issue conservatively whenever possible. Comfort options including numbing and nitrous oxide are available.
