Emergency Dental Care From Your Dentists in Worcester

According to the American Dental Association, someone visits a hospital emergency room for a dental issue approximately once every 15 seconds in the US. While you can’t predict when a dental emergency will arise, it’s vital that you have it cared for right away as neglecting to do so can significantly affect your oral – and overall – health.

At Common Park Dental in Worcester, we make it our priority to offer a wide variety of dental procedures and treatments and are happy to provide emergency dental care to our patients. If you are in pain or have experienced a dental injury, call us now!

Until you’re able to see us, here are some steps you can take when an emergency dental issue occurs.

If my tooth is broken, cracked, or chipped, what should I do?

First, check your mouth for pieces of the tooth and remove them to avoid potential choking issues. Next, call us to arrange an emergency appointment. Should you be experiencing any pain, take an over-the-counter medication such as Tylenol to help minimize it until we can care for your tooth.

My tooth has come out of its socket! What should I do?

Pick up your tooth by its crown (the area that sits above the gum line) and try not to touch its root. Rinse it briefly with cold water and gently try putting it back in place. If you’re successful, place a piece of fabric on top of the tooth and bite down on the fabric to hold the tooth in position. If this isn’t possible, place the tooth in a glass of milk or saline solution (not water!) until we’re able to see you. Patients can also put a dislodged tooth in their mouth, between their molars and the inside of their cheek.

If my tooth or dental crown is fractured, what should I do?

If you’re able to bring the fragment to our office, we may be able to bond it to your tooth. Otherwise, we’ll assess and do our best to restore your tooth once you’re in our office.

I’m experiencing horrible tooth pain when I chew and eat/drink anything hot or cold. What should I do?

It’s possible that you may need root canal treatment, but we’ll assess your mouth to confirm whether or not this is the case. After you call us to arrange an emergency visit, we suggest you take an over-the-counter painkiller such as Tylenol, rinse your mouth with warm saltwater, and gently place a hot compress on the affected area on the inside of your mouth.

No matter your dental emergency, we’re here to help. Call us today!
