When You Need to See an Emergency Dentist in Duncan Fast
From the moment you contact our dental office, we’re taking steps to see you as soon as possible. In the meantime, consider immediate first aid.
If you have a toothache or swelling, use an ice pack and take an over-the-counter pain reliever if medically able. You can also rinse with warm salt water. Never put aspirin directly on the gum. Typically, these symptoms indicate a tooth root infection that requires dental intervention.
If you knock out a tooth, be sure to keep it moist in milk or a cup of saliva. With timely treatment, we can often reinsert it.
