Emergency Dentistry in Thornton
If you find yourself in extreme pain or experience a sudden change in your mouth or jaw, it probably constitutes a dental emergency. The important thing to do if you find yourself in a dental emergency is to stay composed and contact our team as soon as possible.
If you have a dental concern but are unsure whether it is an emergency, we still recommend giving Thornton Dental a call to inquire about your concern. Our team of highly qualified admin staff will be able to assess your dental distress and determine the urgency of treatment.
What Constitutes A Dental Emergency?
- Severe tooth ache
- A broken or cracked tooth
- Severe pain in your gums/jaw
- A tooth being knocked out
- Denture repairs
- Sports injuries
Things to do if a tooth is knocked out:
- For a clean tooth: place the tooth straight back in to the socket. The tooth should be held by its upper part (crown part) not by the root.
- For a dirty tooth: wash the tooth in milk or saliva, by gently placing it in the mouth, and place the tooth back into the socket.
- If you can’t manage to place the tooth back into the socket – place the tooth in milk or gently wrap in plastic.
