What type treatment can an emergency dentist provide?

If a dental emergency occurs, what should I do?

For instance, in case you chip or knock out a tooth, carefully pick up the tooth and rinse it with cool tap water to clear away any dirt, debris, or bacteria. Next, place the tooth in a cup of milk or even tuck it in your cheek , and call the office immediately. The team allows for same day appointments, so they will make sure to get you in. If you have a swollen or bleeding gum or lip, they may also recommend placing gauze on the affected area or even using an ice pack to limit swelling until you arrive.
