Keep in mind that prompt action is always the name of the game when it comes to a dental injury. It’s always better to err on the side of caution and seek the advice of a professional whenever an accident or injury involving the teeth or gums occurs!
Time is of the essence, so contact us immediately. We will arrange to see you on the same day if it’s during normal business hours. Until you can get in, rinse with warm salt water and take an anti-inflammatory (e.g., ibuprofen) to reduce swelling and discomfort. If you’re currently experiencing any severe facial swelling or bleeding, head to the nearest emergency room.
