Common Types of Dental Emergencies and How to Handle Them

Dental emergencies like toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, and lost fillings or crowns require prompt attention. Rinse with warm water, floss, and use pain relievers for toothaches. Handle knocked-out teeth by the crown, rinse gently, and store in milk before seeing a dentist. For broken teeth, apply a cold compress and save any fragments. If a filling or crown is lost, temporarily reattach it with dental cement or toothpaste. For immediate care, visit an emergency dentist in Houston, TX 77054.
