Questions patients ask
Emergency Care questions
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
Hold it by the crown (not the root), rinse gently without scrubbing, and keep it moist — in milk or inside your cheek — while getting to a dentist as fast as possible. Time matters enormously for reimplantation.
Is a severe toothache an emergency?
Pain that keeps you awake, comes with swelling, or comes with fever should be seen promptly — these can signal an infection that gets harder to treat with delay.
What if I break a tooth eating?
Save any fragments, rinse with warm water, and call the clinic. Even a painless chip is worth checking, since cracks can deepen if left alone.
