- Treatment for cracked tooth repair, from fillings to crowns
- Care for lost or damaged restorations

What to Do Before Your Visit

- For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist (in milk or your cheek) and get to our office quickly
- Rinse gently with warm water and use a cold compress to manage swelling
- Avoid aspirin directly on the gum or tooth, which can irritate soft tissue
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently if dirty, and try to keep it moist while you get to our office as quickly as possible.
Do you see patients the same day for emergencies?
