If you are having a dental emergency, Dr. Ronald Stangebye of Advance Dental in Granger, IN, can help with an emergency appointment. These kinds of accidents are alarming but the best thing you can do is stay calm and give us a call!
Don't put off contacting your dentist in an emergency, especially if you are in pain. Delaying treatment might mean you end up needing more dental work when there could have been an easy solution for your pain. Don't put yourself through more pain and expenses! These are some reasons you may want to call for an emergency appointment:
- Severe toothache
- Lost filling
- Cracked or broken crown
- Chipped tooth
- Knocked-out tooth
- Injury to the cheeks, tongue, or lips
Come see us in Granger, IN, if you're having a dental emergency. If you've lost a tooth, there are a few things you can do right away:
- Find the tooth and hold it by the crown, not the root
- Rinse the tooth with milk or water
- Tuck the tooth inside your cheek to store until you get to the dentist (or store the tooth in a small container of milk)
If you have chipped a tooth:
- Collect all the pieces of the tooth
- Rinse out your mouth
- Ice the area to alleviate any pain and swelling
These are a few things you can do immediately in an emergency, but you should still call your dentist for advice. Injuries to your tongue, cheeks, and lips are dental emergencies, too. The best thing to do for these injuries is clean the area immediately and apply pressure if there is any bleeding.
Whatever kind of dental emergency you're having you should always call your dentist. Advance Dental is here for you in Granger, IN, if you're having a dental emergency. Call to make an appointment with Dr. Ronald Stangebye at (574) 271-9910.
