FAQ about dental emergencies
What should I do if I lose an adult tooth?
- Call us ASAP. We keep emergency slots open in our schedule, so we’ll see you the same day in most cases.
- If your tooth has been knocked loose, apply gentle pressure to push it back into place. Don’t force the tooth, as you could cause additional damage or pain.
- If your tooth has become completely detached, avoid touching the roots. Place the tooth in a container of milk, salt water, or saliva. Be sure to bring it with you to your appointment.
- Carefully follow any instructions that our team member gives you. They will explain how to manage your emergency situation until you see one of our dentists.
Is my tooth infected?
- Constant toothache
- Lingering hot or cold tooth sensitivity
- Sore and sensitive jawbone
- Swelling in the jaw, mouth or face
- Pain upon biting
Does a toothache mean I need an extraction?
A toothache doesn’t always mean you need an extraction. Our Ozark emergency dentists will provide you with a personalized diagnosis. Toothaches are often easily treated by a root canal or other restorative treatment.
