EMERGENCY

EMERGENCIES
• If a tooth has come out of its socket, it is essential to visit us as soon as possible.
• Call: 416 925–0154 to book an appointment immediately.
• When a tooth exits the mouth, tissues, nerves, and blood vessels become damaged.
• Typically, if the tooth can be placed back into its socket within an hour, there is a chance the tissues will grow to support the tooth once again.
• Call us at 416 925–0154
• Pick up the tooth by the crown and rinse it under warm water.
• DO NOT touch the root.
• If possible, place it back into its socket. If not, tuck it into the cheek pouch.
• If the tooth cannot be placed in the mouth, put the tooth into a cup of milk, saliva, or water as a last resort.
• It is important to keep the tooth from drying out.
• If possible, visit our dental office immediately at 474 College Street, Suite 103 Toronto, Ontario M6G 1A4
• Our goal is to replace the tooth in its natural socket.
• In some cases, the tooth will reattach, but if the inner mechanisms of the teeth are seriously damaged root canal therapy or tooth replacement may be necessary.
• Typically swelling in the mouth is caused by an infection.
• Home Care: If the swelling is isolated to a small area within your mouth, we recommend that you try a salt water rinse first (1 teaspoon of salt per cup of water).
• If you are experiencing an abnormal amount of facial swelling, we recommend that you call us immediately for treatment.
• If you have an accident and your tooth is mobile, please call us immediately at 416 925–0154.
• While speaking with you our team will provide symptom management.
• The teeth are strong, but they are still prone to fractures.
• Sometimes fractures are painless, but if the crack extends down into the root, it is likely that you will experience some discomfort.
• If a tooth has been fractured or cracked, there is no alternative but to see us as quickly as possible.
