A dental emergency—whether it’s a severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken tooth or crown—is stressful and painful. Knowing what to do and who to call can make all the difference in saving your tooth. We reserve time in our schedule every day to help patients with urgent needs.
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, time is critical. Hold it by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saliva and head to our office immediately.
For other emergencies such as pain, swelling, or broken restorations, call us right away. We will bring you in as soon as possible, relieve your discomfort, and outline a plan to restore your oral health.
