Tips for Handling Dental Emergencies

If you’re in pain, Dr. Lavi will do everything he can to see you as soon as possible and provide emergency dental services. While you’re waiting, we recommend the following tips for dealing with common dental emergencies:

  • Broken Tooth — If you break a tooth, make sure to contact us right away. Don’t attempt to fix the tooth on your own or glue it back together, as this can lead to additional oral health issues and make the situation worse.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth — If you knock out a tooth, call us as soon as you can and make sure to keep the tooth moist until we can see you. It’s also important to handle the tooth by the crown, not the roots, and gently rinse any dirt off the surface if necessary.
  • Severe Toothache or Jaw Pain — If you’re in debilitating pain, we’ll prioritize your treatment and provide the relief you need as fast as we can. Once Dr. Lavi determines the source of your pain, he’ll provide an effective treatment solution.
