What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Call our office at (715) 644-3601 right away. Until you can be seen:
- Knocked-out tooth: Hold it by the crown, rinse gently, and place it back in the socket or in milk. Get to our office as quickly as possible.
- Broken tooth: Rinse with warm water, save any pieces, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Toothache: Rinse with warm salt water and floss gently to remove trapped food.
