What Can I Do Before My Emergency Dental Appointment?
Taking immediate steps when you have a dental emergency occurs can prevent further damage and benefit the outcome of a treatment. Here are a few recommendations on what to do for immediate steps to care for your tooth before you see Dr. Dimitrov for an emergency appointment.
Severe Toothache
Gently swish warm water around your mouth, and lightly floss your teeth to eliminate any food that could be lodged. A cold compress outside your cheek may help with the discomfort before Dr. Dimitrov can solve the issue.
Knocked Out Tooth
Pick the tooth up by the crown or top of the tooth of the tooth, avoid touching the root. If the tooth is dirty, gently rinse it in water continuing to avoid touching the root. Place the tooth in a small container submerged in milk if possible before your emergency appointment. If possible, try to see Dr. Dimitrov within one hour to increase the chance of saving your tooth.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
Gently rinse the broken piece or pieces of the tooth and save them to bring to your appointment. Rinse your mouth using warm water and apply a gauze to stop help with the bleed. Use a cold compress on the outside of your mouth to minimize pain and swelling, before coming to see Dr. Dimitrov.
Soft Tissue Injury
Soft tissue injury can include the gums, cheeks, lips or tounge, the first step should be to control the bleeding. Rinse your mouth with a warm saltwater mix, after moisten a piece of gauze and gently apply some press to the area. If the injury is severe and the bleeding will not stop it might be necessary to visit the hospital emergency before seeing an emergency dentist.
Broken or Dislodged Filling
If you have a broken or dislodged filling (or crown) make sure to avoid chewing with that tooth. Try to warm with warm water and bring the piece (if possible) to your appointment.

Questions We Often Hear From Patients
What classifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any condition or situation that causes pain or prevents you from going about your normal, everyday activities. Most dental emergencies should be treated within the first one to two hours.
If you are unsure what to do and think your situation is a dental emergency, we encourage you to call us at Mission Hill Dental and discuss your situation with our staff. We will advise you on immediate steps to deal with your situation. Afterwards, we will schedule an appointment for you as soon as possible to treat your emergency.
What is the most common dental emergency?
Toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth are the most common dental emergencies. With broken or knocked-out teeth, time is of the essence. The sooner you can see Dr. Dimitrov, the better, as it increases the chances of restoring or stabilizing your damaged tooth. If you can, you should store the tooth fragment properly, so it will not dry out. The best thing to do is to place it in a container submerged in milk or contact solution. If you do not have either, tap water with a pinch of salt will work, or saliva. Completely knocked-out teeth can be set back into the socket and held in place, but be sure to get to our dental office within one-two hours.
If you are in a dental emergency, call our office, and we can advise you on what steps to take.
