What is a Dental Emergency?

If you’re experiencing severe pain or discomfort, don’t wait. Common dental emergencies include:

What to Do if a Tooth is Knocked Out:

If the tooth is clean, place it gently back into the socket, holding it by the crown (the top part), not the root.

If dirty, rinse the tooth with milk or have the patient gently suck it clean before attempting to reinsert.

If the tooth can't be replaced, store it in milk or wrap it in plastic until you can see your Dentist.
