Our Contact Information

Below are instructions for handling minor dental emergencies.

Gently clean the area around the tooth by rinsing the mouth with warm water and gently flossing to remove any particles that may be lodged in the tissue around the tooth. If the pain continues, or if the area around the affected tooth is warm, please call our office to schedule an appointment.

Apply ice to help reduce swelling and apply pressure with a clean cloth or sterile gauze to stop any bleeding. If the bleeding continues, call your physician or visit your local emergency room.

Please call our office to schedule an appointment.

Call our office right away and take these steps.

Do not touch the tooth root, but hold the tooth by the crown and gently rinse the tooth with water.
Place the tooth back into the socket as quickly as possible and bite down on clean gauze to hold it in place.
If the tooth cannot be placed in the socket, put the tooth in a small container of milk or saliva and bring it with you to your appointment.

Gently rinse the area with lukewarm water and place a cold compress on the face to reduce swelling. If you can locate the piece of the broken tooth, place the piece in milk, and bring it with you to the office. If more than half of the tooth is broken off, please call us immediately.
