What should you do if you have a dental emergency?
There are many types of dental emergencies that can happen no matter the circumstance. Call us immediately. We can tell you what to do over the phone and have you get to us as quickly as possible. If you get a tooth knocked out keep it moist, if you crack a tooth rinse with warm water to clean it out, and for toothache try rinsing it out floss your teeth and if nothing help come to us.
We are always here for you and ready to help with any dental emergency.

Precautions you can take to avoid dental emergencies.
If you are playing a sport, wear a mouthguard. This will help you if you ever get hit in the mouth. Without the mouthguard you do risk getting a tooth knocked out while playing.
Do not chew ice, popcorn kernels, and hard candies. All of these can crack your teeth and even knock them out.
Never use your teeth when trying to open something. There are scissors so just use the theme instead.

We are ready to help when an emergency comes along. If you do ever have a dental emergency just quickly give us a call and we will help you out.
