Emergency Dentistry: Immediate Care for Critical Situations
Immediate Steps to Take :
- Rinse with warm water to clean the area and remove debris.
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling or facial trauma.
- Save knocked-out teeth : Store in milk or saliva and seek care within 30 minutes for reimplantation.
- Control bleeding with gauze and gentle pressure.
Common Emergencies We Treat :

Knocked-out teeth, fractures, or jaw trauma from accidents. - Infections :
Abscesses, severe gum swelling, or throbbing pain requiring antibiotics/root canals. - Post-Procedural Complications :
Uncontrolled bleeding after extractions, failed fillings, or broken crowns.
Why Prompt Care Matters :
