A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate dental care to save a tooth, stop ongoing tissue bleeding, alleviate severe pain, or treat a severe dental infection. Some of the most common emergencies include:

• Intense toothaches or sensitivity
• Broken, chipped, or knocked-out teeth
• Swollen or bleeding gums
• Abscessed teeth
• Loose or missing dental work like fillings or crowns
• Trauma or injuries to the mouth, jaw, or face

While our team at Orange Premier Dental is equipped to handle emergencies with expert care, there are steps you can take to manage the situation before reaching our office:

• Stay Calm: Panicking can worsen the situation. Take deep breaths and focus on getting the necessary help.
• Cold Compress: Apply a cold pack to the affected area for 15 minutes to reduce pain and swelling.
• Rinse: Gently rinse your mouth with warm water.
• Preserve Knocked-out Teeth: Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root) and rinse off any dirt. If possible, place the tooth back in its socket. If not, store it in a container of milk or water with a pinch of salt.
• Avoid Aspirin: Stick to pain relievers like ibuprofen, as aspirin can cause bleeding.
