First, try to save any pieces of the tooth that have broken away. Next, rinse them in warm water, then place them in a clean container. Finally, cover the pieces in milk, water, and some salt.

To begin, rinse the injured person’s mouth with warm water. Then, attempt to stop any bleeding. Apply a clean gauze or cloth to the area and apply pressure. However, if the bleeding doesn’t stop after 10 minutes, call your dental team or go to the hospital.

When a tooth is knocked out, you need to act fast – call us as soon as possible! First, only hold the tooth by the crown and do not touch the root. Next, rinse the injured person’s mouth with warm water and attempt to stop any bleeding. Apply a clean gauze to the area and apply pressure. However, if the bleeding doesn’t stop after 10 minutes, then call our dental team or go to the hospital.

Where possible, attempt to replace the tooth into the gum socket. Do not be too firm but gently place some pressure. On the other hand, if you can’t replace it, then rinse the tooth in warm water, place it in a small container, and cover with milk, water, and some salt.

When you lose a crown or a filling, it is extremely rare that we need to see you the same day. Therefore, please schedule an appointment with us. Prior to your visit, here is what you need to do:

Fillings: If you find the filling, place it in a clean container and bring it with you to your appointment. This will help us assess the situation and determine the best course of action.

Crowns: On the other hand, if you find the crown, give it a good clean and line the inside with toothpaste or dental adhesive. Afterward, you can then attempt to replace it or keep it safe in a container until your appointment. This temporary fix can help protect your tooth until we can properly address the issue.
By following these steps, we can work together to efficiently address the problem and get your smile back to full health. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We’re here to help!

If you are suffering from a severe toothache, then the first step is to inspect the tooth and clean the area. Use floss to remove any debris, and also check the gum line. However, if the pain persists, then please call our Seattle dentist at (206)-784-3740 as soon as possible. Additionally, it’s important to address the issue promptly, as a severe toothache can be a sign of a more serious dental problem that requires professional treatment.

Furthermore, leaving a toothache untreated can lead to further complications, such as infection or even tooth loss. Therefore, we recommend contacting our office right away to schedule an appointment and get the relief you need.
