Common Dental Emergencies
We treat a wide range of dental emergencies, including severe toothaches and dental pain, knocked-out or loose teeth, chipped, cracked, or broken teeth, lost fillings or dental crowns, dental abscesses and infections, soft tissue injuries to the lips, gums, or tongue, and broken dentures or orthodontic appliances.
If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us and we will help you determine the best course of action.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
If you experience a dental emergency, stay calm and call our office at 802-863-3950 as soon as possible. For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist by placing it in milk or holding it between your cheek and gum, and avoid touching the root.
For a cracked or broken tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. For severe pain, over-the-counter pain medication can help until you reach our office.
