DENTAL EMERGENCIES

Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly and often require immediate attention to alleviate pain, prevent further damage, and preserve your oral health. At Richmond Shine Dental clinic, we’re here to provide prompt and effective care when you need it most.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Knocked-Out Tooth

• Never throw away or lose the tooth. In many cases, it can be reinserted into the socket after proper treatment.
• Place the tooth in a Save-A-Tooth solution or, if unavailable, in cool milk to keep it moist.
• Avoid scraping or cleaning the tooth.
• Call us immediately for emergency care.

Toothache or Sensitivity

• Persistent pain or sensitivity in a tooth could indicate an underlying issue, such as decay or infection.
• Contact us right away to schedule an emergency appointment.

Chipped or Broken Tooth

• If you’ve chipped a tooth and need to get back to work or your daily routine, give us a call.
• We’ll do everything we can to get you into the office quickly and resolve the issue.

Common Dental Emergencies and Initial Steps

• Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss to remove debris. Avoid applying aspirin directly to the tooth or gums.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: Follow the steps above and seek immediate dental care.
• Lost Filling or Crown: Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on the affected side. Bring the crown or filling with you to your appointment if possible.
• Dental Abscess: Rinse with warm salt water to reduce swelling and call us immediately for treatment.
• Objects Caught Between Teeth: Use dental floss to gently remove the object. Avoid using sharp tools that could damage your gums or teeth.
