General Dental Emergencies
Below are instructions for handling minor dental emergencies.
Call our office right away and take these steps.
Do not touch the tooth root, but hold the tooth by the crown and gently rinse the tooth with water.
Place the tooth back into the socket as quickly as possible and bite down on clean gauze to hold it in place.
If the tooth cannot be placed in the socket, put the tooth in a small container of milk or saliva and bring it with you to your appointment.
