Dental Emergencies

(Allen Park Dentists)

 Many people will experience at least one tooth
emergency in their life. You could break a tooth
playing a sport, accidentally dislodge a crown,
experience sudden pain caused by an abscess or
break a wire on your braces. In the case of a
dental emergency, see your Allen Park dentist as
soon as possible!
Broken Tooth: Save any tooth fragments. Rinse
mouth with warm water. If the area is bleeding,
apply a piece of gauze. A cold compress held on
the cheek can reduce swelling and lessen pain.

Visit your Allen Park dentist as soon as you can.

 Lost Filling: Save the filling if you can. It can help
your dentist determine why it came out. Do not let
food get stuck in the hole left by the filling. Do not
chew on the tooth. Brush it gently.

Call your Allen Park dentist’s office to schedule an

emergency appointment right away.
Displaced Crowns: If there is pain, you may apply a dab
of clove oil with a Q-tip to the affected tooth. Save the
crown.

If you can’t see your Allen Park dentist immediately, you

can apply dental cement (available at drugstores) or
denture adhesive to temporarily re-attach the crown.

Do not use other types of glue or adhesive

 By visiting your Allen Park dentist as soon as
possible, you avoid pain, infection and possible
further tooth damage. If you delay treatment, even
for a few days, you risk needing more extensive
treatment later.
