FAQs
How soon should I come in for a knocked-out tooth?
You should ideally see a dentist within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving a knocked-out tooth. If that's not possible, try to keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or saline solution and come in as soon as you can.
Can I manage tooth pain at home before seeing a dentist?
For temporary relief, use a cold compress on the outside of your mouth and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Avoid putting pressure on the painful area, and schedule an emergency appointment to address the root cause of the pain.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?
Yes, we do. Our practice prioritizes emergency cases to provide immediate attention and relief. Call our office or book online to secure a same-day appointment.
