What to Do Until You’re Seen
While you’re waiting to come in, a few simple steps can help protect the tooth and reduce discomfort:
Toothache
Rinse gently with warm water and avoid chewing on that side.
Broken or chipped tooth
Save any pieces if possible and avoid hard foods.
Knocked-out tooth
If you can, place it back in the socket gently or keep it in milk and call us immediately.
Lost crown or filling
Keep the area clean and avoid sticky or hard foods.
For safety, avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums or tooth.

What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or loose permanent tooth, a cracked or broken tooth, facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, and injuries to the mouth or jaw all qualify as dental emergencies. If you're unsure, call our office — we'd rather see you and rule out a problem than have you wait and risk complications.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it with water if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If that's not possible, keep it moist in a glass of milk. Get to Century Dental East within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
Will my dental insurance cover emergency treatment?
Most dental insurance plans cover emergency procedures like extractions, temporary restorations, and X-rays. Our office staff will verify your benefits and explain your costs before treatment begins. We also accept CareCredit and offer payment plans for uninsured patients.
