What counts

When in doubt, call. We can help you decide whether you need to be seen right away.

Severe toothache
Pain that will not go away or that wakes you at night, or sensitivity that is getting worse.
Broken, chipped or cracked teeth
Including teeth driven back into the socket, and loose or knocked-out teeth.
Lost crown or filling
Pulled-out dental work can leave the tooth exposed and painful.
Abscess or swelling
A pimple-like bump on the gum, a bad taste or swelling can signal infection.
Soft tissue injuries
Cuts to the lips, gums, tongue or cheeks.
Something stuck
An object caught between teeth that you cannot remove gently.

What we do

Call us first
We will tell you what to do until you arrive and schedule you as soon as possible.
Find the source
Once we find the source, we treat it. We explain your options before we begin.
Treat it
That may mean a filling or crown to repair damage, a root canal for an infected tooth, or splinting a loose or knocked-out tooth to the neighbors so it can heal.
If a tooth cannot be kept
If a tooth is too damaged to keep, we may recommend extraction and talk with you about replacing it.

Before your visit

These tips are general. They do not replace a call to the office, so phone us first and we will guide you.

Toothache or broken toothRinse gently with lukewarm salt water, use a cold compress on the outside of the cheek for swelling, and save any pieces of tooth.
Knocked-out adult toothPick it up by the crown, not the root. If it is clean and you can, gently place it back in the socket. Otherwise keep it in milk or in your saliva, and get to us fast, because time matters.
Knocked-out baby toothDo not push it back in. Bring the tooth and call us.
Lost crown or fillingKeep it, call us, and avoid chewing on that side. A temporary filling material from a pharmacy can protect the tooth until your visit.

Go to the emergency roomGo to the emergency room, or call 911, for trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, a broken or dislocated jaw, or a serious wound to the face or mouth. For most other dental problems, a hospital can only offer pain relief and send you to a dentist.
Call us for everything elseFor everything else, call us first. We will tell you what to do until you arrive and schedule you as soon as possible. Ask about cost when you call, or see insurance and financing.
