How do you handle dental emergencies?

Tualatin Dental Care is well equipped to handle dental emergencies with a focus on providing immediate and effective care. When faced with a dental emergency, the dental team prioritizes the situation based on the severity of the issue. Common emergencies may include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken or cracked teeth, and oral injuries. In general, Tualatin Dental Care recommends that individuals experiencing a dental emergency contact their office as soon as possible. While they may have designated emergency hours, it is important for patients to communicate their situation so the dental team can assess the urgency and determine the best course of action. For patients with a knocked-out tooth, Tualatin Dental Care advises keeping the tooth moist, ideally by placing it back in the socket or keeping it in a glass of milk, and seeking immediate dental assistance. For severe toothaches, rinsing the mouth with warm salt water and taking over-the-counter pain medication may provide temporary relief while waiting for professional care. Tualatin Dental Care demonstrates a commitment to patient well-being and strives to alleviate pain and discomfort promptly.
