Quick Action Steps and Prevention Tips
If a tooth is knocked out or badly damaged, acting quickly can improve the chance of saving it. If there is bleeding, severe pain, or swelling, call the clinic right away for guidance.
What to do right away:
- Handle the tooth by the crown only (avoid the root)
- If it is dirty, rinse gently with water (do not scrub)
- Try to place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk or saliva
- Call Aurora North Dental as soon as you can for urgent care
Treatment may involve
oral surgery in certain cases, and wisdom-teeth-related issues may require
wisdom teeth removal. To help prevent future problems, keep up with regular
dental cleanings, address clenching or grinding (often linked to
orofacial pain), and book an exam if you notice new discomfort after a chip or crack in your tooth.
