KNOCKED-OUT TOOTH

Getting treatment as soon as possible is important when a tooth gets knocked out. Replacing the tooth within 30 minutes will greatly increase the chances of saving it.

If the tooth is still in your mouth, partially attached, leave it in there. That’s the best place for it to be until you can get to the dentist. If the tooth is completely knocked out, follow these steps:

  • 1. Handle the tooth carefully

    Pick the tooth up by the enamel—you want to avoid touching the root end with your fingers.

  • 2. Rinse with clean water

    If the tooth has dirt on it, carefully wash it with clean water. DO NOT use soap to clean the tooth, just rinse the dirt off. DO NOT dry the tooth with anything.

  • 3. Replace tooth in its socket if possible

    If you can push the tooth back into its socket, do so. This is the best place for your tooth to be until you get to the dentist.

  • 4. Keep tooth moist

    Cover the tooth with milk or use a dental preservation kit available at any pharmacy. Or place the tooth in your mouth next to your cheek.

  • 5. Call us right away and come in immediately!

    Come see Dr. Sabharwal within 30 minutes, or as soon as you can get here. Call us at (703) 858-3456 so we can be prepared to assist you right away when you arrive.

  • 6. After office hours, go to an emergency room

    Most other dental emergencies can wait until the next day when our office is open, but for traumatic injuries that knock a tooth out or push it out of place, go to the emergency room for treatment if the emergency occurs outside of our normal office hours.

CHIPPED OR BROKEN TEETH

If you have bleeding, you can apply pressure to the area using gauze to help stop the bleeding. To help with swelling and pain, apply a cold pack to your cheek or lip over the affected area. Call our office at  (703) 858-3456 and come in for emergency treatment.

TOOTHACHES

Toothaches can be caused by a number of different dental problems. When you have severe tooth pain, the best thing to do is contact us right away so Dr. Sabharwal can examine your teeth and diagnose the cause of your pain.


Remember, being prepared for an emergency will help you take the right actions when an emergency happens. Keep our office number handy and call us at (703) 858-3456 whenever you need emergency dental treatment.

The Importance Of Getting Treatment As Soon as Possible

While dental emergencies can be stressful and frightening, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible for several reasons.

  • Preventing Complications

    Ignoring an emergency dental situation can lead to serious problems in the future, including infection, abscesses or tooth loss. You can avoid these complications by seeking treatment immediately. This will also preserve your oral hygiene.

  • Pain Relieving

    Dental emergencies can cause pain and discomfort that impacts your quality of living. We can relieve your pain as quickly as we can by seeking treatment as soon as possible.

  • Preservation of Teeth

    In most cases, prompt action can save a tooth that has been damaged or knocked out. The longer you delay seeking treatment, the less likely it is that the tooth will be saved.


  • Preventing Further Damage

    Delayed treatment can worsen the situation and cause more damage to your gums and teeth. We can reduce the likelihood of further damage by addressing this issue as soon as possible.
