How to Address Dental Emergencies

If you have an emergency, you may need to know what to do until you can see us for your appointment.

Bleeding. Use sterile gauze or a clean cloth to apply mild pressure to the wound. If you have heavy bleeding or suspect you have a broken jaw, seek emergency medical care.

Broken or knocked-out teeth. Save the tooth or portion of the tooth if you can find it. Store it in a container with milk or saline solution covering the tooth. If we see you in a timely fashion, we may replace the tooth.
