What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Call Us Immediately
If you’re in pain or have experienced an emergency, call us right away. The sooner we know about your situation, the sooner we can help you. Our team will guide you on the next steps and provide advice on what to do while you wait to be seen.
Describe Your Symptoms Clearly
When you call, be as specific as possible about what you’re experiencing. Whether it’s severe pain, swelling, or broken teeth, this helps us understand the urgency of your situation and prepares us to take action right away.
Follow Immediate Care Instructions
If there are steps you can take before you arrive, such as applying a cold compress or taking over-the-counter medication, we’ll make sure you’re equipped to manage the situation safely.
Save Any Broken Pieces
If a tooth is broken or knocked out, save any pieces you can find. Bring them with you to your appointment, as they may help us restore the tooth, especially if it’s a permanent tooth.
Avoid Taking Aspirin
While it’s common to reach for pain relief, avoid aspirin in case of a dental emergency. Aspirin can increase bleeding, which can complicate treatment. Stick to ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain relief if needed, unless otherwise instructed by our team.
