Emergency Dentist Brookline
No time is a good time to have an emergency. CITIDental Brookline is standing by to help you at any time. Whether you are a current patient or visiting for your first time, we are here to help you no matter what the situation.
If you are in pain, do not delay seeking emergency dental help. The sooner the problem is addressed, the more likely it is that you will have a successful recovery.
Types of Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies include:
- Knocked out tooth
- Broken or cracked tooth
- Loose or lost fillings or crowns
- Severe toothache
How to Cope with Dental Emergencies
There are certain things you can do to help increase the chances of successful recovery and lower your pain before you arrive at our office.
- Attempt to place a knocked out tooth back into its socket. If you can’t, store it in milk (not water) or in your mouth to prevent it drying out and dying. A tooth is most likely to survive if it is replaced within one hour.
- Cover lost fillings or cracked teeth with OTC dental cement or sugar free chewing gum to protect the nerve and prevent further damage.
- Use ice or pain relievers to minimize the pain of a toothache, or any other dental emergency.
Waiting will only make an emergency situation worse. If you are in pain and need dental assistance in Brookline, Cambridge, Newton, or anywhere in the Boston metro area, call CITIDental Brookline now.
