Emergency Dentistry in League City, TX

What to Do During a Dental Emergency

The right first steps can protect your tooth and ease your pain while you head to our office:

• Call our office immediately so we can reserve a same-day slot and walk you through what to do.
• For a knocked-out tooth, pick it up by the crown (never the root), gently rinse it, and keep it moist in milk or saliva — time is critical.
• For a broken tooth, rinse with warm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling.
• For a lost filling or crown, save the restoration if you can and avoid chewing on that side.
• Use over-the-counter pain relief as directed, and never place aspirin directly on the gum or tooth.

When you arrive, we’ll examine the area, use anesthesia or sedation to keep you comfortable, and treat the problem to protect your smile and relieve your pain.
