What Are Steps I Can Take During a Dental Emergency?
Are you experiencing a dental emergency that needs to be seen by Shiflett Family Dental right away?
Call us as soon as you can. Our friendly and knowledgeable dental staff can quickly determine if you should go to an emergency room instead. During your phone call, we will try to schedule a same-day appointment with our dentists. We can help guide you and offer advice until you can come for treatment.
If your tooth or dental restoration has been knocked out, try to find it so we can do our best to restore it. Teeth should be rinsed and held in a safe space (often within your mouth or cup of water). It's important to keep the root wet and not delay. We have a small window to fully recover a knocked-out tooth.
For many dental emergencies, rinsing with lukewarm water and taking over-the-counter painkillers can help battle inflammation and pain.
The best thing you can do is see us right away, even if you aren't sure it's an emergency.
