What To Do In a Dental Emergency
Remain Calm
While an unexpected dental injury can cause extreme stress and pain, it’s important to stay calm. Know that almost every dental issue can be addressed, treated, and resolved by a Naperville dentist. There’s no need to panic — we are here to help.
Reduce Bleeding
If your dental injury or accident causes bleeding, use a strip of sterile gauze and add pressure to the affected area. This should slow the blood flow within an hour.
Control Swelling & Pain
An over-the-counter medication like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can temporarily alleviate pain and swelling. Avoid blood-thinning aspirin, which can prevent clotting. You can also relieve pain by applying an ice pack to the cheek near the affected area.
Call Us Right Away
Don’t hesitate to give us a call at (630) 796-0030 as soon as you’ve gained control of your dental emergency. Our team can help assess the severity of your injury and get you into our office as soon as possible for treatment.
The Importance of Prompt Emergency Care
A dental emergency is never something to “wait and see” about. A tooth infection can spread to other parts of your body and cause further problems if left untreated — and fast treatment gives us the best chance of saving an injured or knocked-out tooth.
