Do You Have A Dental Emergency?
Orchard Park Dental is here to help with common dental emergencies. Dental problems often arise unexpectedly and outside of office hours, making it important to have quick access to care.
Understanding the difference between a standard dental problem that can wait and a real emergency is key to protecting your health. If you are unsure whether you’re experiencing a dental emergency, consider these questions:
- Do you have any loose teeth?
- Has a tooth been knocked out?
- Are you in severe pain?
- Is your mouth bleeding or swollen?
- Do you have any bulges or swelling on your gums?
Contact us immediately if you answered “yes” to any of the above questions. Waiting for a regular appointment may lead to permanent damage to your teeth. We also aim to relieve any pain you may be experiencing as quickly as possible.
Tooth Injuries
- Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown without touching the root.
- Rinse it gently with warm water.
- If possible, try to place the tooth back into the socket to prevent the root from drying out.
- If you can't place it back in, put the tooth in a small milk container and bring it to our dental office.
- Use gauze to control bleeding by pressing it into the socket.
- Call to schedule an emergency dental appointment.
Toothaches
Toothaches are one of the most common reasons people seek emergency dental care. Pain, swelling in the gums, and a low-grade fever often signal that a tooth could be infected.
If the pain is mild and you do not have a fever or symptoms of an abscess, like bumps on the gum or facial swelling, treatment can wait a little while. However, if the infection is severe, it is essential to have it addressed quickly. Pain may not always have an obvious source, but our team can help identify the issue and provide the care you need. Please contact us immediately or go to your local hospital for emergency treatment.
A Fractured Tooth
- Rinse your mouth with warm water.
- Place a cold compress against the fractured tooth to reduce gum swelling. You may prefer to place a cold pack on the cheek over the fracture.
- Place chipped or broken pieces of tooth in a small container filled with milk and bring it with you.
- If your tooth is seriously fractured, you need to receive quick dental emergency treatment or you could lose a tooth. Contact the office right away for help.
- Even if a fracture is not that big, it’s a good idea to give us a call for advice.
Soft Tissue Injury
- Rinse your mouth with warm water.
- Apply gauze to the injury site and apply pressure to control the bleeding.
- If the bleeding doesn’t stop, add fresh gauze on top of the old one without removing it and continue applying pressure.
- Even if your teeth aren’t involved, give us a call and we will help you decide whether you need to come into our offices or go to your local hospital emergency room.
