Dental Injuries
From knocked-out teeth to dental abscesses, dental injuries require immediate attention to minimize damage and preserve oral health. Whether caused by accidents, sports injuries, or biting into hard foods, dental problems like a dislodged tooth or trauma to the gums need prompt treatment.
If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (the visible part) and avoid touching the root. Rinse it gently with saliva or warm water, but do not scrub it. Place the tooth back in its socket or keep it in a container of milk or saliva until you reach our office. Time is critical for saving the tooth, so seek emergency care immediately.
For injuries causing bleeding, place gauze over the area and apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Severe pain or swelling could indicate an abscess or infection, requiring antibiotics and possible drainage. At Encompass Dental Studio, we provide personalized care for all dental injuries, using local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during treatment.
Cracked Teeth
A cracked tooth is one of the most common dental emergencies; prompt treatment is essential to prevent further damage. Cracks can range from minor cosmetic issues to severe fractures that compromise the entire tooth. You may experience sensitivity to hot or cold, discomfort when chewing, or visible damage to the tooth.
At Encompass Dental Studio, we assess the extent of the damage using advanced diagnostic tools. Treatment options for cracked teeth vary based on severity and may include fillings, crowns, or, in severe cases, root canal therapy. Our team will guide you through each step, ensuring the best solution to preserve your tooth and restore its function.
If you suspect a cracked tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and avoid chewing on the affected side. Applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek can reduce swelling. For temporary relief, over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen can help until you can see our dentists.

Temporary Relief Tips for Dental Emergencies
These tips can provide temporary relief while waiting for your emergency dental appointment.
Toothaches
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area, and use dental floss to remove any trapped debris. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, as it can irritate.
Chipped or Cracked Teeth
Save any broken pieces and rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply gauze to stop bleeding and a cold compress to reduce swelling.
Bleeding or Swelling
Apply gauze to the bleeding area and elevate your head to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers, like ibuprofen, can help alleviate discomfort.
