What to Do Before You Arrive
These first steps can make a significant difference in your outcome and your comfort before we see you.
Toothache
Rinse with warm salt water. Take over-the-counter pain medication as directed. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum or tooth. Call us immediately.
Broken Tooth
Rinse with warm salt water. Take over-the-counter pain medication as directed. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum or tooth. Call us immediately.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Pick up the tooth by the crown only, never the root. Rinse gently without scrubbing. Store in milk, saline, or between your cheek and gum. Get to us within 30 to 60 minutes. Time is critical.
Dental Abscess
Do not attempt to drain the abscess yourself. Rinse with warm salt water to reduce bacteria. Take over-the-counter pain medication as directed. Come in immediately. Do not wait.
Lost Crown
If you have the crown, try to reposition it temporarily using dental cement from a pharmacy or toothpaste as a temporary adhesive. Do not use super glue. Call us and come in same day.
Uncontrolled Bleeding
Apply firm pressure with gauze or a clean cloth. Bite down and maintain continuous pressure for 20 to 30 minutes without lifting to check. If bleeding does not slow after 30 minutes, go to an emergency room while calling us.
