Before Your Emergency Dental Appointment

When you’re having a medical emergency, you know that you should call 911 immediately. But what about a dental emergency? If you lose a tooth, injure your gums, or are experiencing a severe toothache, your best bet is to call an emergency dental clinic right away..

During a dental emergency, you’re in pain, your mouth is bleeding, and you aren’t sure what to do first. It’s not a situation that people are often prepared for. 

If you have a dental emergency, there’s no need to panic. You’ve come to the right place. At Edmonton Emergency Dental, our services are available 24/7. Treating dental emergencies is what we’re here for.

Have you injured a tooth? While you wait to see a dentist, you might wonder what to do. In this article, we’re going to help you respond to a dental emergency. Follow these steps:

What To Do in a Dental Emergency?

Once a dental emergency occurs, you might feel overwhelmed. Don’t worry: At Edmonton Emergency Dentists, we’re here to help. Here’s what to do first:

Remain calm
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, your mind might be racing with thoughts. Can your tooth be fixed? What should you do? How will you afford it?

To alleviate your anxiety, return your focus to your breath. Begin by taking slow, deep breaths—in through your nose, and out through your mouth. Once you’ve found a rhythm, you’ll notice your heartbeat slow down as well.

After you feel more relaxed, you can move forward with the next step.

Assess the situation
Now, it’s time to consider the condition of your injury. You can ask questions like:

    • Am I bleeding? If so, how severe is the bleeding?
    • Do I have a knocked-out tooth? 
    • Am I experiencing pain or swelling? 
  • Do I have any broken bones?

Based on these questions, you can identify the severity of your injury.

Temporary Treatment
While you wait to see a dentist, you might be wondering what you can do to alleviate your pain. If you are bleeding, apply a clean cloth or gauze to stop the flow.

After a tooth is knocked out, try to gently reinsert the tooth into the socket. If that is not possible, keep the tooth in a cup of milk. 

For general pain and swelling, apply an ice pack to the outside of your cheek. This will help numb the nerves. For more severe pain, take an over-the-counter pain reliever (such as ibuprofen).

Give us a call immediately
With any dental emergency, one thing remains the same: The sooner you receive treatment, the better. Hours matter when it comes to the success of dental restoration services. It can make the difference between losing a tooth or the successful re-implanting of a knocked-out tooth. As soon as you can, call our dental office at 1-855-636-9112.
Head down to one of our offices
Once you’ve scheduled your appointment, all that’s left to do is head to the clinic. Try to arrive for your appointment as soon as possible. If you’re not in a state where you feel comfortable driving, ask a friend or family member to take you (or call a cab).
