Cracked or Broken Tooth
Knocked Out Tooth
Toothache
Cracked or Broken Denture
Cracked or Broken Tooth
- Call us immediately to schedule an appointment. We can see you right away!
- If you have no pain, Call us immediately. Your tooth can continue to break apart even without pain!
- Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area.
- Use cold compresses to keep any swelling down before your appointment.
Toothache
- Call us immediately to schedule an appointment.
- Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area.
- Use cold compresses to keep any swelling down until your appointment.
- Never put aspirin, alcohol or any other painkiller against the gums near the aching tooth because it may burn the gum tissue.
Broken Denture
- Call us immediately to schedule an appointment.
- We have our own lab. We can repair whatever is broken IMMEDIATELY.
- We offer “Teeth in One Day”. We can fix your smile in One Day! Whether it is simple or complex, we can usually get you “back on the street” in one day. Call us. If we can get an impression early in the day, we can have you a new denture / new teeth before the sun goes down! 😉
Knocked out Tooth
- Rinse the tooth off with water if it is dirty, but do NOT scrub it or remove any tissue.
- If possible, gently insert the tooth back into its socket and hold it there.
- If you can’t insert it into the socket, place it in a cup of milk.
- Call us immediately to schedule an appointment. We’ll see you IMMEDIATELY!
