FAQS
What should I do if I’ve knocked out a tooth?
If you've knocked out a tooth, try to find the tooth and handle it by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse it without scrubbing. Keep moist in milk or saliva. and get to our office as quickly as possible. Time is crucial in saving the tooth.
What should I do if my dental work has fallen out?
If a filling, crown, or other dental work has fallen out, keep it safe and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. Contact us immediately for an appointment. Do not attempt to reattach it yourself as this could cause further damage.
What should I do about a severe toothache?
Call us as soon as possible for an appointment to address the cause of the pain. In the meantime, you can manage the pain by applying a cold compress to your cheek, taking over-the-counter pain medication, or using a topical product like Orajel to numb the area.
