What should I do after a dental emergency? 

Right after you experience a dental emergency don’t wait to call the staff at Vivo Dental. They’ll be able to help you care for your injury and calm you down if you’re feeling fearful or anxious about what transpired. 

Here are some general at-home care tips for common situations to keep in mind in the event of a dental emergency: 

Chipped or broken tooth

Keeping your chipped or broken tooth and the surrounding area clean is very important. Try swishing warm water around inside your mouth. Cold compresses can also help bring down any swelling you experience. 

Tooth pain

Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. You can also try to gently floss in the painful area to check for any food caught in your teeth. 

For any type of dental emergency, you can always try over-the-counter pain medication to provide relief until you’re able to come into the office. However, try and get an appointment as soon as possible. 

How quickly can I get in for an emergency dentistry appointment? 

If you or a loved one experience a dental emergency, it’s important to let the office know right away. Call the office immediately and explain what happened. The staff will offer tips on how to care for your teeth until you’re able to come in.
