COMMON DENTAL EMERGENCIES AND WHAT TO DO

Dental emergencies can be stressful, but it’s important not to panic. Contact Elif Clinic as soon as possible for assistance. Knowing how to respond to the situation can help ease your anxiety and allow you to stay in control. Below are common dental emergencies and tips on how to handle them before your appointment.

Gum Infection or Irritation

Swelling, bad breath, or a strange taste may indicate a gum infection. Acting quickly can prevent the situation from worsening. Contact Elif Clinic immediately for a consultation, and we will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Losing a tooth can be alarming, but staying calm is crucial. Follow these simple steps and contact us right away:

Recover the tooth if possible. Handle it by the crown, not the root.
Rinse the tooth gently with water, but do NOT scrub off any tissue attached to the tooth.
Preserve the tooth by placing it in milk, or use a tooth preservation kit available at your local pharmacy.

Make an appointment with us immediately and bring the tooth. If it can be restored, we’ll quickly take care of it. If the tooth cannot be saved, we’ll create a comprehensive treatment plan for a replacement.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

In the event of a broken tooth, contact our team as soon as possible. In the meantime, here are some steps to ease discomfort:

Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area.
Apply a cold compress to numb pain and reduce swelling.
Bite down gently on a piece of gauze to control bleeding.
Take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen for temporary relief.

It’s important to seek dental care promptly to prevent complications. At Elif Clinic, we have the expertise and tools to restore your smile and bite effectively.

Toothache

If you’re dealing with a toothache, follow these steps for temporary pain relief and schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible for proper treatment:

Rinse with warm water to alleviate pain.
Use a cold compress to numb the area.
Take over-the-counter pain relievers as needed.

When you visit Elif Clinic, we’ll focus on relieving your pain first, then collaborate with you on a treatment plan. Keep in mind, while the pain may come and go, the underlying issue causing it—such as decay or infection—will continue to worsen without treatment.

Dental Abscess

A dental abscess occurs when bacteria get trapped in the gums. To ease discomfort, follow these steps:

Rinse with salt water to clean the area.
Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
Take over-the-counter pain relievers to alleviate pain.

Contact us immediately if you suspect you have an abscess. Left untreated, it can spread and cause more severe health problems.

Lost Filling, Crown, or Bridge

If you lose or break a dental restoration, don’t worry! Restorations can occasionally fail, but we’re here to help. Here’s what to do:

Recover the crown or bridge if possible, and handle it carefully. (If you lost a filling, there’s no need to recover it.)
Avoid hot or cold foods and refrain from chewing on the damaged restoration.
Use over-the-counter dental cement as a temporary measure, but do not attempt to repair the restoration yourself. Only a dental professional should handle this.

We’ll schedule an appointment with a restorative dentist right away to repair or replace your filling, crown, or bridge. Our goal is to have you back to smiling and chewing with confidence as soon as possible.
