It happens when you least expect it – a dental emergency. The best way to handle a dental emergency is to have a plan of action should one occur.

What is Emergency Dentistry?

Emergency dentistry is the practice of efficient and effective dental procedures and protocol to save a tooth or smile in an emergency situation. This requires clear-headed thinking and fast action, as well as having an office that is equipped to perform the common procedures associated with emergency dentistry.

Common Dental Emergencies

• Avulsed, or knocked-out, tooth
• Abscessed tooth
• Chronic pain

How to Handle a Dental Emergency

The first step to handline a dental emergency is staying calm. From there, only pick up a knocked-out tooth by the crown – not the soft, root. Call our office immediately. If you are uncertain whether you should go to the emergency room rather than a dentist, call 9-1-1.
