While dental emergencies are rare, they can happen, and it’s important to know how to take care of your teeth no matter what.
- Bitten lip or tongue: Wash and clean the area with warm salt water. If the bleeding does not stop, contact our office.
- Broken, chipped, or fractured tooth: Keep the area clean and save the fractured piece. Contact our office for an appointment as soon as possible.
- Knocked-out tooth: Go to our Whitby office as soon as possible, keeping the tooth in milk until you get here.
- Toothache: Avoid biting on that tooth, and avoid hot or cold things to eat or drink. Don’t wait too long to visit our office, as a toothache can be indicative of infection.
- Broken jaw: Stabilize the jaw as best as you can and don’t move it. Go immediately to our office or an emergency room.
