At-home oral care tips during emergencies

There are times when, depending on your situation, you can follow a few suggestions to prepare yourself and handle a dental emergency.

• Perhaps you can try some at-home remedies for dental problems, such as taking Tylenol or applying ice packs to alleviate your severe toothache.
• If you or a loved one gets a tooth knocked out, you can either hold the fallen out tooth back in its place during your drive to our office, or you can place the tooth into a cup of water or milk, and come to our office right away.
• In the case of a broken or chipped tooth, you should save the pieces of your tooth, if possible. If you are bleeding, you can apply pressure to the area with gauze pads. Doing this may provide some relief before coming to see us.

Also, you can follow specific tips for emergency dental care for children and teenagers. These are just some of the many actions you can take to find some relief before coming to Heritage Creek Dental– your 24-hour dentist office!
