When you visit Dr. Bousaba for an emergency, you can expect attentive care and swift action. We prioritize your comfort and well-being, aiming to alleviate pain, stabilize any dental injuries, and provide effective treatment options tailored to your needs.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
If you experience a dental emergency:
- Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss around the affected area to remove any debris. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gum.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown (top), not the root. Rinse it gently with water (without scrubbing), and try to place it back into the socket if possible. If not, keep it moist by placing it in milk or saliva until you can reach our office.
- Broken or Chipped Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any broken tooth fragments if possible.
