Repair Dental Damage With Restorative Care
We’ll likely recommend restorative care for dental emergencies like a broken tooth or a severe toothache. Our dentists can usually relieve your pain and repair your smile by:
- Fixing cavities with a tooth filling or a dental crown
- Saving a tooth threatened by infection with root canal therapy
- Mending cracks, chips, or breaks in teeth with a dental restoration like a crown or a veneer
- Gently removing a tooth that is so badly damaged that it can’t be repaired
- Fixing broken restorations like a crown
Take Care of Your Teeth Until You Can See Us
How you treat a dental injury until you can see us can make a big difference in the success of your treatment. Here’s how to handle common dental emergencies until your appointment:
- Knocked-Out Tooth – Handle it as little as possible, and don’t touch the roots. Keeping it in your mouth is best. If that’s not possible, transport it in a container of milk, saliva, or salt water.
- Loose Crown – Try to secure the crown with a little dental cement or even toothpaste. If it won’t stay in place, keep it in a secure location so you can bring it with you to our office.
- Broken Tooth – Bring the broken pieces of the tooth with you, if possible. Use ice if you’re in pain.
- Toothache – Since a toothache can signal a serious problem, call us as soon as you can. Apply an ice pack or other cold compress to reduce discomfort and swelling.
