What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Assess the Situation
Evaluate the severity of your dental issue. For minor problems, like a small chip, you may not require immediate care. However, for more serious issues such as a broken tooth or excessive bleeding, contact Vail Dental Design right away for guidance.
Control Pain and Protect the Affected Area
Use a cold compress to reduce swelling and take over-the-counter pain medication if necessary. Avoid using the damaged tooth or area until it has been examined by Dr. Arnold. This will help prevent further injury.

FAQs
Dental emergencies can take a variety of forms, some of the most common being severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, significant swelling, uncontrollable bleeding, or a broken tooth. If you are unsure whether your situation requires urgent care, give us a call for guidance – it’s better to be safe than sorry!
Yes, a knocked-out tooth can often be saved if you act quickly. Retrieve the tooth, being careful to hold it by the crown (not the roots). Keep the tooth moist by placing it in a container of milk, saliva, or a tooth preservation kit and contact your dentist within 30 minutes for the best chance of reattachment.
If your dental crown falls off, try to save it and avoid chewing on the affected side. Clean the crown and the tooth gently and call Vail Dental Design immediately for advice on next steps. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy may help protect the tooth until your appointment.
