Common Dental Emergencies And What You Can Do
If you're experiencing a dental emergency, call Spainhower Dental Care right away: 801-775-8805.
In the meantime, here are some immediate steps you can take for the most common dental emergencies:
Severe or Persistent Toothache
Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss to remove any trapped food. If swelling is present, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
Bitten Cheek, Lip, or Tongue
Clean the area gently with a soft cloth and rinse with warm or salt water. Apply gauze to stop bleeding, and use a cold compress to reduce swelling and discomfort.
Cracked or Broken Tooth
Rinse your mouth carefully with warm water. If there is bleeding, apply clean gauze to the area. Use a cold compress to minimize swelling and contact us as soon as possible.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown (top), not the root. If possible, gently place the tooth back into the socket. If that’s not feasible, store it in milk or between your cheek and gums to keep it moist until you reach our office.
Object Stuck Between Teeth
Use dental floss to gently dislodge the object. Avoid using sharp instruments like pins or toothpicks, which can damage your gums. If you can’t remove it, let us take care of it for you.
No matter the emergency, our team at Spainhower Dental Care is here to help. Call us at (801) 775-8005 for prompt, compassionate care.
