Understanding Emergencies
Understanding Emergencies
While some dental emergencies are obvious, like knocked-out teeth and excessive bleeding, some are more subtle. As a general rule, we consider any oral issue that is causing you pain and that you cannot treat on your own to be a dental emergency. This includes cracked, chipped, or impacted teeth, as well as issues like serious toothaches and pulled-out dental work (such as fillings or crowns). If you still have a question about whether your issues is considered an emergency, don’t hesitate to call our team and discuss your situation. You can reach us at (401) 351-0072.
Preserve Your Smile
How to Handle a Knocked-Out Tooth
If your tooth has been knocked out, take the following steps to ensure the best possible outcome for your dental health:
- First, contact our office at (401) 351-0072.
- Retrieve your tooth and rinse it gently with warm water.
- Replace the tooth in its socket, if possible. If you cannot replace the tooth in its socket, place it in a baggie or container of milk.
- Treat bleeding with clean cotton balls or gauze, and come to our office with your tooth as quickly as you can after scheduling an appointment.
