Emergency Dental Services in Orleans

If possible try to find any broken or lost fillings or crowns. Rinse and attempt to place it back on your tooth. Contact our office as soon as possible to schedule a visit to have your tooth repaired.

Did you suffer an injury that resulted in a broken or chipped tooth? Try to find the missing tooth, put it in a clean container and bring it with you when you come in to have it examined. It may be possible for your dentist to reattach it. Whether the piece is found or not, call our office right away to have it repaired.

If possible, find your knocked-out tooth, rinse it well, being sure to hold it by the crown - not the roots - and re-insert it into your tooth socket by gently biting down once it is in its place. Try to keep it moist by putting it in a glass of milk or holding it in your mouth until you arrive at your office. 

If you are experiencing pain then you can take an over-the-counter pain medication. Do not take aspirin if you are experiencing any bleeding. Apply a cold compress against your cheek where your tooth has been fractured. This will help reduce your pain and swelling.

Come to the office as soon as possible. If possible, please call ahead of your arrival. The sooner you can be treated after a tooth has been knocked out, the better the chance your dentist will have of saving it.
