What type of situation constitutes a dental emergency?

There are a number of situations that can constitute a dental emergency. These include:

• Dislodged tooth
• Major tooth pain that doesn't abate with over the counter pain relievers
• Significant amount of blood coming from the mouth: Especially if continual
• A cracked tooth
• A broken tooth
• Broken or dislodged braces bracket: Especially if it causes serious pain

Many other situations could also be dental emergencies. If you have any questions about whether a dental problem is urgent, please contact George Family Dental Care right away to get their advice.

What if a tooth is lost?

If a tooth is entirely dislodged from the mouth, there's a chance that it can be saved if you get to the George Family Dental Care office right away. Retrieve the tooth, picking it up only by the crown and leaving the roots undisturbed. If possible, place the tooth back in the socket to preserve it while you're on the way to George Family Dental Care. If placing the tooth isn’t possible, put the tooth into a small container of with cow’s milk to preserve it until you arrive. If you can get to George Family Dental Care in less than an hour, Dr. George may be able to re-implant the tooth successfully.
