What To Do During a Dental Emergency

Severe dental pain and dental injuries require urgent attention. Be cognizant of the dental emergency situations described below, and always keep your emergency dentist's contact information handy.

Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Tooth

In the event of a broken or chipped tooth, you should visit a dentist within 2-3 hours. A chipped or broken tooth may be saved if tended to quickly. Before visiting your dentist for an emergency dental examination, you should take the right steps to reduce the chances of infection. Apply gentle pressure to the gums around the affected tooth to stop any bleeding. Do not apply direct force to the fractured or chipped tooth.

Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to control swelling. If you still have the tooth piece that was broken or chipped off, bring it to your dentist - it may be bonded back into place.

Lost or Knocked-Out Tooth

Trauma or injuries powerful enough to knock out a tooth may sometimes require an emergency room visit. However, you should visit your dentist as soon as possible to maximize the chances of saving your tooth. If you can recover your lost or knocked-out tooth, you should only handle it by the crown, or white part, of the tooth.

Rinse the tooth immediately in cool water to remove any dirt, gently re-insert it into the empty tooth socket, and hold it in place with a clean washcloth. If you cannot re-insert the tooth, keep it moist - preferably in milk, saline solution, or saliva, until your emergency dental visit.

Other Dental Emergency Situations

Other dental emergencies that should be treated immediately include bitten lips or tongue (may require a visit to an emergency room), tooth pain, missing fillings, and objects stuck between teeth. Our emergency dentists in Shady Spring and Lochgelly, WV, will examine your teeth and determine the best treatment approach for your situation.
