When a dental emergency strikes, it’s important to stay calm and contact our holistic dentists on Capitol Hill for immediate guidance. We will assess your situation and provide instructions on the best steps to take. Common dental emergencies include:
- Missing or knocked-out teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Infected or abscessed teeth
- Severe tooth pain
For minor issues, you can manage discomfort and reduce swelling with cold packs and over-the-counter pain relievers. If a tooth is broken, lost, or knocked out, carefully retrieve it and be careful not to touch its root. Place it in a cup of milk or a cup of water with a bit of table salt until you reach our dental office. When you arrive, our dentists will prioritize your comfort while addressing the issue to restore your smile.
