Dental emergencies can occur when you least expect them, causing discomfort and stress. At Watertown Dentistry, we prioritize emergency care to address urgent dental issues and restore your oral health quickly.
What is a Dental Emergency? A dental emergency requires immediate attention to relieve pain, prevent further damage, or save a tooth. Common emergencies include:
- Severe toothaches
- Knocked-out teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Abscesses or infections
How to Handle Common Dental Emergencies
- Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Contact us for an appointment.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or saline solution. Avoid touching the root and seek immediate care.
- Broken Tooth: Rinse with warm water and save any fragments. Use a cold compress to alleviate pain.
- Lost Filling or Crown: Cover the exposed tooth with dental cement or sugar-free gum until you can see us.
