Unexpected tooth damage can be scary—but knowing what to do can make all the difference! ✨
At Morgan Family Dental Group, our emergency services are here to provide fast relief and expert care when you need it most.
Here are some emergency first-aid tips you can use:
🦠 Broken or chipped tooth: Rinse gently with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If the edge is sharp, apply sugar-free gum or dental wax for protection.
👄 Knocked-out tooth: Handle by the crown (not the root), rinse carefully (don’t scrub), and try to reinsert it. If that’s not possible, place it in milk, saliva, or a tooth-preserving solution; see a dentist immediately—ideally within 30–40 minutes.
⚠️ Lost filling or crown: Temporarily cover the area with dental cement or sugar-free gum; avoid chewing on that side.
💥 Tooth pain or swelling: Rinse with warm salt water, take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory (like ibuprofen), and contact us ASAP.
Most tooth trauma isn’t life-threatening—but getting quick, appropriate care helps prevent complications like infection or tooth loss!
Our team in Russellville provides prompt, compassionate emergency dental care when it matters most. ♥️
