Dental Emergencies

At our dental office, commitment to helping others isn’t something we just talk about.

Dental emergencies are a priority, and we willingly come in to treat them, for existing patients and “not yet” patients.

If you are experiencing pain, swelling, have a dental infection or broken denture, you can call us and we will try to see you at the earliest possible appointment.

Tips for handling dental emergencies

For bleeding that persists after an extraction, bite gently on a dry tea bag or pad of clean gauze. Call our dental office if bleeding has not stopped within 30 minutes.

For a tooth that is knocked out, rinse it in tepid water but do not use soap or scrub it. Hold it by the crown (not the root), and gently replace it into the socket if possible. Otherwise, keep it between the cheek and gum, or in a cup of milk.

Call Park Street Dentistry and come in right away for the best chance of saving the tooth.

We do everything in our power to help ensure that patients never experience dental emergencies, but if you ever do have one, you will receive prompt, compassionate care at Park Street  Dentistry.
