Did you know... The use of hospital emergency services for non-urgent or preventable medical conditions is a growing public health concern across the nation. The estimated national cost of hospital emergency room visits for dental emergencies is more than $2 billion a year. From collected data, it is assumed that 79 percent of hospital emergency visits regarding oral care can be shifted to a dental office. This suggests, if more people went to the dentist for their dental emergent and urgent needs, there is a potential cost savings amount of up to $1.7 billion per year. |

Call your dentist or an emergency care dentist as soon as possible after you start feeling any sort of pain or discomfort that cannot be controlled by over-the-counter medication.
Rinse your mouth out with warm water and apply a cold compress to your face. If there is swelling, call your dentist or an emergency dentist right away. If your tooth was chipped or broken and you have the piece of the tooth that was broken off, wrap it in wet gauze or towel and bring it with you to the dentist.
If your tooth becomes loose due to trauma, call your dentist right away. For a knocked-out tooth, gently insert the tooth back into the socket if possible, without touching the root, using a clean towel or washcloth. This is to give the tooth the best chance at survival. When re-inserted the tooth can re-attach itself to the bone depending on how long the tooth was out of the mouth. If the tooth is dirty, rinse with milk, but do not scrub or remove any tissue that may be attached and try not to touch the roots, this is the most sensitive and easily damaged part of the tooth. If re-insertion into the socket is not possible, put the tooth into a cup of milk or spit to keep it moist and go to the dentist immediately.
Apply ice or a cold compress and go to the emergency room immediately if you suspect a broken jaw. Seek follow-up care with a dentist.
Clean the area and place a cold compress on the area to reduce any swelling. If bleeding does not stop or the wound is particularly large, go to the dentist or an emergency room.
