Do I Need Emergency Dental Care?
It can be hard to know if or when you should come in to see a professional for a dental emergency.

Common Solutions for Dental Emergencies
While we encourage our patients to contact us about any dental emergency they are experiencing, there are recommendations and pain relief options available while you wait to be seen. Here are a few of our top tips:
- In the case of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth, save as many pieces or the tooth itself if possible.
- For toothaches, many pain-relieving solutions are available, including cold compresses and over-the-counter pain relief medication if following proper dosage and after checking with your physician.
- If objects are caught between your teeth, DO NOT use sharp objects for removal. You can consider attempting removal with dental floss.
- For lost fillings and lost crowns, DO NOT use non-dental adhesives such as glue to fill the missing filling or reattach your crown.
- Use orthodontic wax to temporarily prevent poking from broken braces and wires or to reattach loose brackets and bands.
Prevent Dental Emergencies Before They Happen
