Dental Emergency What to Expect

Dental Emergency FAQs

What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?

If you lose a tooth, use a cold compress to subside any bleeding and try and locate your missing tooth. Handle the tooth as little as possible picking it up by the crown. If there is any root left, it is important to try and preserve as much of the root structure as possible. Put the tooth in a cup of your own saliva or milk to help preserve it until the dentist can see you.

What should I do if my dental restoration breaks?

If any dental restoration becomes broken or falls out, do not try to reattach it yourself. If you can salvage any part of the crown, denture, or filling, bring it with you to your dentist appointment. Contact our Baltimore, MD dentist office to schedule an appointment to have a new dental restoration fabricated and fixed.

What should I do if I experience sever tooth pain?

Tooth pain can be a sign of tooth decay, an abscess, or other oral health concerns. If you are experiencing a sharp or shooting pain in your tooth contact your dentist immediately. Tooth pain is often a sign of a more serious oral health condition and should be treated as soon as possible. If you are experiencing any swelling try placing a cold compress on the area.

What do I do if I get something stuck between my teeth?

If normal flossing and brushing can not remove the object, contact our Woodlawn dentist office. Do not use anything other than floss to attempt to remove something from your teeth or gums.
