How We Treat Dental Emergencies
- First-Aid Steps: For a toothache, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever and/or applying a cold compress to the face can help reduce the pain and swelling. If a tooth has been knocked out, recover it without touching the root, gently rinse it off with warm water, and try to place it back into the socket until we can see you (ideally within an hour). If this doesn’t work, put it in a container with milk, as this will help keep the root tissue alive so it can be replanted.
- Contact Us: The first step you should always take if you’re experiencing any out-of-the-ordinary oral pain or have damaged a restoration or tooth is to call our office. We’ll work hard to see you the same day so we can address your concerns.
- Apply Necessary First Aid: While you’ve got us on the phone, we’ll also provide you with first aid guidance to minimize the chances of additional harm to your smile.
- Receive an Examination: When you arrive at our practice, you’ll receive a thorough examination as well as any necessary diagnostic imaging. We may use our digital X-ray system, intraoral camera, or cone beam CT scanner to see what’s happening below your gumline.
- Create a Treatment Plan: Once we diagnose the issue at hand, we’ll then create a treatment plan to address it. Before executing the plan, we’ll walk you through it and provide you with a detailed cost estimate so you know what to expect.
- Get Treatment & Relief: Once you decide to move forward with the proposed treatment plan, our team will work quickly to repair your smile and treat your pain.

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
While there’s no singular way to avoid experiencing a dental emergency, there are multiple preventive steps you can take to minimize your risks:
- Maintain good at-home oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily.
- Schedule and attend your two six-month checkups and cleanings each year.
- Avoid chewing on items and foods that are excessively sticky, hard, or chewy.
- Wear a protective mouthguard if you grind your teeth or participate in contact sports.
- Maintain a balanced diet and be mindful of snacking throughout the day on foods that are high in sugars and carbohydrates.
