Tooth impact and loss – Carefully rinse your tooth without removing any attached tissue. If possible, hold the tooth in place in the socket, or else place the tooth in milk and seek our emergency dental services immediately.

Broken Tooth

Dental Abscess

If you find a pimple formation or swelling on your gums, rinse with salt water and immediately contact our dental team. Abscesses can lead to more serious infections if not treated promptly.

Lost Dental Filling or Dental Crown

For dental fillings and crowns, a temporary repair can be made using dental cement or sealing the hole with a piece of sugarless gum until our Dentist can perform a permanent replacement or installation.

Toothache

Rinse your mouth out with warm water. Next, use dental floss to make sure there isn't any food or other debris causing the pain. If the tooth pain persists, call our office.

Protecting your Smile
