We have all been there. It is the late evening when you bite into something and you immediately identify that something is wrong. Or your kid was out playing a pick-up game of basketball and received an elbow to the face, knocking a tooth loose. Dental emergencies happen all the time, making it a perfect time to call our San Francisco dentist.
Common Dental Emergencies
• Knocked out permanent tooth
• Loose permanent tooth
• Cracked tooth
• Severe toothache
• Swelling and pain in the gums
• Sudden and painful tooth sensitivity to hot or cold
• Filling, crown or veneer breaking or falling out
• Broken braces and wires
When in doubt, though, feel free to call the office and get the information you need. Some situation may call for immediate attention, while other may be fine for a day or two with proper temporary care. At a minimum, you will get some advice on how to deal with the situation in the meantime, like keeping knocked out teeth moist by placing it between the gums and teeth or in milk (not water).
As specialists in dealing with all types of situations, get the peace of mind you need during your next dental emergency in San Francisco by contacting our offices.
