What to Do Until You Can See Your Emergency Dentist in Thurmont
Knowing what to do during a dental emergency makes the situation less stressful. Here are some helpful tips while you get to Thurmont Family Dentistry.
- For Toothaches: Use over-the-counter medication to provide some relief until we can see you. A constant and severe toothache indicates a tooth infection and will need treatment.
- Knocked-out tooth: Transport your tooth carefully to our dental office, handling it as minimally as possible. Place it back in its socket or use milk or saliva to keep it moist during transport.
- Lost restorations: Try to bring the restoration with you if possible; we may be able to repair or reattach it.
- Broken tooth: Use ice or a cold compress if there's any swelling.
Our team will get you comfortable and back on the path to wellness as soon as possible.
