What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Knowing how to respond to a dental emergency can make a big difference:

Toothache:

• Rinse with warm water and floss gently to remove debris. Avoid aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.

Knocked-Out Tooth:

• Keep the tooth moist. If possible, place it back in the socket. If not, store it in milk and contact us immediately.

Chipped or Broken Tooth:

• Save any broken pieces and rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.

For all emergencies, call (507) 451-3090 to schedule your visit right away. You can also explore other services for restorative care, like Dental Bridges or Teeth Extractions.
