Know What to Do Before Your Visit

Taking the right steps at home can make a big difference. For a toothache, rinse with warm water and use a cold pack on your cheek. If you have a loose tooth, try to gently move it back into place and apply ice.

For a knocked-out tooth, hold it by the top part only and keep it in a container of milk or saliva. With a loose crown, try using toothpaste to temporarily put it back on.

If your mouth is bleeding, press clean gauze on the area. These simple steps can help until we see you.
