Dental Emergency Response Plan

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out tooth needs immediate attention—acting quickly can increase the chances of saving it.

Plan: Find the tooth, keep it moist, and contact us immediately.
  • Hold the tooth by the crown (top) and rinse it gently with water.
  • If possible, place it back in the socket and bite down gently on gauze.
  • If reinsertion isn’t possible, store it in milk, saline, or inside your cheek to keep it moist.
  • Seek urgent dental care—the sooner, the better!

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Even small chips can worsen over time, and larger breaks may expose nerves, causing pain.

Plan: Rinse your mouth, control bleeding, and avoid hard foods.
  • Rinse with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
  • If bleeding occurs, gently bite down on gauze or a clean cloth.
  • Avoid chewing on the affected side and schedule a visit as soon as possible.

Severe Toothache

Sudden or persistent tooth pain may indicate an infection, abscess, or nerve exposure.

Plan: Rinse, take pain relief if needed, and contact us immediately.
  • Rinse with warm salt water to soothe irritation.
  • Take over-the-counter pain relievers, but avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum.
  • Seek prompt evaluation to address the underlying issue.

Lost Filling or Crown

A missing filling or crown can leave your tooth vulnerable to sensitivity and damage.

Plan: Keep the crown if possible and protect the exposed area.
  • If you have the crown, store it safely—we may be able to reattach it.
  • Use temporary dental cement (available at pharmacies) to cover the exposed area.
  • Avoid chewing on the affected side and schedule an appointment.

Abscess or Swelling

A painful swelling on your gum may indicate a serious infection that requires immediate care.

Plan: Do not ignore swelling—contact us urgently.
  • Rinse with warm salt water to help reduce discomfort.
  • Take pain relief as needed, but avoid heat packs, which can worsen infection.
  • Seek emergency dental care, as untreated abscesses can lead to serious complications.

Soft Tissue Injuries (Gums, Lips, Cheeks, or Tongue)

Cuts or bites inside the mouth can bleed heavily but often heal quickly with proper care.

Plan: Control bleeding and monitor for signs of infection.
  • Rinse with warm salt water to keep the area clean.
  • Apply pressure with gauze or a clean cloth to stop bleeding.
  • If the bleeding doesn’t stop after 10 minutes or is severe, seek medical attention.

Jaw Pain or Possible Fracture

A jaw injury can indicate a fracture or dislocation and may require urgent care.

Plan: Immobilize the jaw and seek emergency care.
  • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
  • Avoid opening and closing your mouth excessively.
  • Seek immediate medical attention if there’s severe pain, swelling, or difficulty moving the jaw.
