Frequently Asked Questions

Dental emergencies always happen when they are least expected. Preparation is essential for maximizing the outcome of an actual emergency. Start by storing the phone number of your family dentist in your phone for easy access. You can also take steps to prevent an emergency. For example, we recommend limiting exposure of hard foods and having a mouth guard custom-made for use when you are participating in sports.
If you have an injury or pain affecting the teeth or gums, contact a family dentist immediately. Visit your local emergency room if you have uncontrolled bleeding or have suffered a head trauma.
If your tooth is completely dislodged from the gum and jaw, retrieve the tooth immediately, being careful not to touch the root. Rinse it gently in clean water and place it in a glass of milk.
