Why Prompt Emergency Dental Care Matters
Delaying treatment during a dental emergency can lead to:
-
Increased pain and discomfort
-
Risk of infection spreading
-
Tooth loss or damage that could have been prevented
-
More invasive and costly procedures later on
Getting timely care not only alleviates pain but also protects your smile from long-term complications. Our Port Coquitlam emergency dentist is here to provide immediate support with compassion and expertise.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Until you reach our clinic, here are a few tips to manage common dental emergencies:
1. Toothache or Swelling
-
Rinse your mouth with warm water.
-
Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek.
-
Avoid applying aspirin directly to gums—it can cause burns.
-
Call our clinic as soon as possible.
2. Chipped or Broken Tooth
-
Save any broken pieces.
-
Rinse your mouth and the pieces with warm water.
-
Apply gauze if there’s bleeding.
-
Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
3. Knocked-Out Tooth
-
Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root).
-
Gently rinse with water—do not scrub.
-
Try to place it back in the socket, or store it in milk.
-
Get to our clinic within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
4. Lost Filling or Crown
-
Keep the crown (if you have it).
-
Avoid chewing on that side.
-
Temporary dental cement (from a pharmacy) can be used until your appointment.
