What is a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes any situation involving severe pain, bleeding, or trauma to the teeth or gums that requires immediate attention. Common examples include knocked-out teeth, severe infections or abscesses, broken or loose teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and injuries to the gums or cheeks. If you are experiencing any of these issues, it’s essential to seek professional dental care immediately to prevent further damage or complications.

What if my tooth gets knocked out?
If your tooth gets knocked out, immediate action can potentially save the tooth. Carefully pick up the tooth by the sides, avoiding touching the root. If the tooth is dirty, gently rinse it with water, but do not scrub it. If possible, try to reinsert the tooth into the socket and hold it in place with a clean cloth or your fingers. If you can’t reinsert the tooth, keep it moist by placing it in a cup of milk. Contact us immediately or come to our office as soon as possible. The quicker you act, the better the chances of saving the tooth.
-
What if my tooth is loose but still attached?
If you have a tooth that is loose but still attached, it’s important to avoid wiggling it with your tongue or fingers, as this could further damage the tooth or its root. Keep the area clean and avoid chewing directly on the loose tooth. Contact Boggs Dentistry as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. We will assess the situation to determine the cause and the best treatment to potentially save the tooth and address any underlying issues. Prompt professional evaluation is crucial to prevent further complications.
