How to Handle Common Dental Emergencies in Norwood
Dental emergencies don't have to feel stressful when you know what to do.
Toothaches and Dental Pain
If you have a toothache that's not relieved by over-the-counter medicine, it's likely indicating an infection in your tooth. Contact your dental team in Norwood immediately so we can determine the cause of your pain and recommend the best treatment. If you have an infected tooth, root canal treatment will eliminate discomfort and infection while preserving your natural tooth.
A Knocked-Out Tooth
A tooth that gets dislodged or knocked out needs immediate care for us to have a chance to save it. Contact your emergency dentist immediately and transport your tooth carefully to the dental office. Be careful not to touch the root. Place it back in its socket or use milk or saliva to keep it moist during transport.
Broken or Lost Restoration
If you lose or break an old filling or crown, we'll need to repair or replace it as soon as possible to avoid further damage or discomfort.
Chipped or Broken Teeth
A broken tooth must be repaired as soon as possible, while a chipped tooth may not need immediate attention. Our team will assess your situation over the phone to determine your next steps.
