Dental emergencies can cause severe pain and discomfort, making it difficult to eat or speak. Seeking emergency dental care can help alleviate the pain and discomfort and allow you to perform these activities.
This is the most common reason for dental emergencies. If this is your current situation, make sure you rinse your mouth with warm water and floss around the affected tooth to remove any debris that may be causing the pain. You can also apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek as it can help with the swelling.
The first thing to do if your tooth is broken or chipped tooth, is to rinse your mouth with lukewarm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. At the same time, try to locate the broken or chipped piece of the tooth and bring it with you to your emergency dental appointment with your Lehigh Valley dentist.
For a knocked-out tooth, hold it by the crown and rinse it with water. However, don’t scrub or remove any tissue attached to it. Try to reinsert the tooth into its socket, and hold it in place with a clean cloth or gauze. If you cannot reinsert the tooth, place it in a container of milk or saliva and bring it with you to your emergency dental appointment.
We can't wait to see you.
