General Dentistry

Consistent dental care is one of the best ways to prevent dental problems such as severe tooth decay and dental emergencies. Regular dental check-ups include a thorough dental cleaning, exam and x-rays. A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup that brushing at home does not reach. Your dentist can check for signs of gum disease, tooth decay and other dental problems. When addressed early, dental issues can be taken care of right away so that they do not turn into a dental emergency. Preventing dental problems is best for protecting your smile for years to come!

Tips for Toothache

If you are unsure of what to do while you are waiting to be seen, our team can give you some guidance over the phone. For a toothache, carefully flossing around the tooth may remove food that is causing the pain. Rinsing with warm salt water can help treat infection. A cold compress placed on the outside of the mouth can ease swelling. If a toothache goes away, it is still a good idea to be seen by your dentist so that he can examine your smile and determine the cause of the pain. If the pain returns, it could be worse. Treating a toothache can be important in saving your tooth from worse pain or damage. For a broken or lost tooth, save the tooth if possible, only handling the tooth by the crown (not the root). You can preserve your tooth in a container of milk while waiting to be seen by your dentist. 

The best thing to do in a dental emergency is to be seen quickly. Don’t hesitate to call your dentist when you find yourself in an emergency!
