Broken Tooth Restoration -If your tooth restoration (filling, crown, bridge, or denture) breaks, please visit our office right away so we can preserve the restoration. Chronic Toothache - If you have a persistent or throbbing toothache, we recommend icing the area of your cheek closest to the tooth and call our office for an emergency visit. Cracked or Chipped Tooth - If your tooth breaks, try to collect as many pieces as possible and bring them with you to your emergency appointment. Knocked-Out Tooth - If your permanent tooth is knocked out, put it back into the socket and bite down gently on a piece of gauze to keep it in place. If you can’t put it back, transport it to our office in a cup of milk.
