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.
