Dental emergencies have a way of happening when you least expect it, and don’t often fit into your schedule. However, pain, infection, and dental trauma can leave you feeling stuck or frantic. Wagner Family Dentistry knows how troublesome dental emergencies are, and we are your go-to practice for emergency dentistry in Woodinville, offering prompt, compassionate, expert emergency dental care.
These are some of the most common dental emergencies our practice is equipped to treat:
Preserving a knocked-out tooth requires quick action. If possible, gently replace the tooth in its original socket. Alternatively, keep the tooth moist by storing it in milk or an ADA-approved preservation liquid. Seek immediate dental care to maximize the chances of saving the tooth.
When dealing with a cracked or broken tooth, first rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and take over-the-counter pain medication. Contact our office immediately to prevent further damage and address potential complications.
Persistent tooth pain requires careful attention. Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss to remove any potential debris. Use over-the-counter pain relief to manage discomfort. If the pain continues or worsens, schedule an emergency appointment to diagnose and treat the underlying cause.
For soft tissue injuries in the mouth, begin by rinsing gently to clean the area. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and control minor bleeding. If bleeding is severe, persistent, or accompanied by intense pain, seek immediate care at a hospital emergency room
When an object is stuck in your mouth, attempt gentle removal using dental floss. A water flosser can provide careful, targeted cleaning. Avoid pushing the object deeper into the gum or tooth. If you cannot remove the object or experience increasing pain, visit our office for professional removal.
A potential broken jaw is a serious medical emergency. Apply a cold compress to reduce pain and swelling. Minimize jaw movement to prevent further injury. Seek immediate medical attention at a hospital emergency department for proper diagnosis and treatment.
