Don’t Let a Dental Emergency Disrupt Your Day

A chipped tooth during dinner, a sudden toothache in the middle of the night, or a knocked-out tooth after a weekend soccer game—dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them. Ignoring these issues can lead to further complications, but timely intervention can save your smile and prevent lasting damage.

At Family Dental Practice, we’re here when you need us most. Whether your emergency occurs during business hours or on the weekend, our dedicated team is on-call to provide guidance, schedule same-day care, or assist you after hours.

Tips for Managing Common Dental Emergencies at Home

While waiting for your appointment, here are some tips to help you manage discomfort and protect your oral health:

• Chipped or Cracked Teeth
  Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any pieces of the tooth, if possible. Avoid chewing on the damaged tooth until you’ve been seen by our dentist.
• Knocked-Out Tooth
  Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root) and try to place it back in its socket or store it in milk until you can visit us. Timely care can increase the chances of saving your tooth.
• Severe Toothache
  Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss to ensure nothing is trapped between the teeth. Avoid applying aspirin directly to the area, as this can irritate your gums and cause more discomfort.
• Lost Filling or Crown
  Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on the affected side. We can quickly replace or repair your restoration to prevent further discomfort or damage.
• Abscess or Swelling
  This may indicate a serious infection. Rinse with warm salt water and contact us immediately for treatment.

Here are more tips to help you in the event of a dental emergency. Taking these precautions could mean the difference between saving and losing your tooth.
