WHAT TO DO IN A DENTAL EMERGENCY

Image

REMAIN CALM

It’s important to stay calm even though your unexpected dental injury may cause extreme stress and pain. While you may feel inclined to panic, know that almost any dental issue can be addressed, treated, and resolved by a dentist. Rest assured that our team is here to guide you back to a healthy smile.

REDUCE BLEEDING

If your mouth is bleeding from your dental injury or accident, place a strip of gauze on the afflicted area and apply pressure. This should slow the blood flow within an hour.

CONTROL SWELLING & PAIN

Ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or other similar over-the-counter medication can temporarily reduce pain and swelling. Steer clear of any blood-thinning aspirins as they will prevent clotting and may make it difficult to control the flow of blood. An ice pack to the cheek near the affected area can also help reduce pain for a short period of time.
