- Dental infections or abscesses
- Soft tissue injuries
By addressing emergencies promptly, we protect your long-term dental health while reducing stress and pain.
What to Do During a Dental Emergency
If you experience a dental emergency, follow these steps to protect your teeth and comfort:
- Call Triangle Family Dentistry immediately so we can guide you through how to manage your situation until your appointment.
- Manage the pain safely with an ice pack to reduce swelling and/or over-the-counter pain relievers as directed.
- Protect the tooth
- If it has been knocked out by rinsing it and keeping it in milk, saline, or saliva until you can see our dentists.
- If broken or loose, avoid chewing on the injured side and/or keep it in place with a clean cloth or gauze.
- Avoid infection or abscess self-treatment such as attempting to drain or medicate at home as this can lead to further complications.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency. We’re here to provide guidance and urgent dental care when you need us the most.
