Dental emergencies

A dental emergency is alarming and always happens when you least expect it. This can be very stressful, but the best thing you can do in any dental emergency is to remain calm and call your dentist. We can help with advice and an emergency appointment. Don't hesitate to call if you are experiencing:

  • Toothache
  • Crack in a tooth
  • Chipped tooth
  • Swollen gums
  • Broken crown or restoration
  • Tooth knocked out
  • Facial swelling
  • Loose adult tooth

Any of these events are a dental emergency. Remember that delaying dental treatment often means more involved and more expensive dental work when you do have an appointment, so call your emergency dentist in Richmond, VA, as soon as you notice trouble.

What to do in a dental emergency

You should always call your dentist for advice and treatment if you are having a dental emergency, but there may be a few things you can do immediately.

A knocked-out tooth should always be handled by the crown, never the roots. Locate the tooth and rinse it off. If possible, fit the tooth back in its socket to stay until you get to the dentist. You can also store the tooth in a small container of milk to preserve it.

For a cracked tooth, rinse your mouth out immediately to rinse the tooth and get rid of any debris. If there is any swelling, use an ice pack on the side of your face. That's what you can do immediately in an emergency, but always call your emergency dentist in Richmond, VA.

At Midtown Richmond Dentistry, we understand how stressful dental emergencies are and we are here to help! To make an emergency appointment with Dr. Robert Bigelow in Richmond, VA, call (804) 741-7440.
