Try to identify and find any broken or lost fillings or crowns. Rinse and attempt to place it back on your tooth. Call our office as soon as possible to arrange an appointment to have it fixed. 

If you have a broken or chipped tooth, it's important not to panic but instead to take immediate action to fix it.

First, try to locate any missing pieces of the tooth and put them in a clean container. Bring any pieces of the tooth with you to your appointment as your dentist may be able to reattach them. Even if you cannot find the missing piece, call our dental office in Kingston right away to schedule an appointment to have the tooth repaired.

Don't panic and take the necessary steps to get it treated as soon as possible.  In most cases, it’s possible to fix a chipped tooth so that it looks completely natural and no one will ever be able to know that it was broken.

If you have a knocked-out tooth, it is important to take immediate action to try to save it.

First, carefully rinse the tooth and hold it by the top (crown) rather than the roots. Gently try to put it back in its socket and bite down gently to keep it in place. Keep the tooth moist by placing it in a glass of milk or by holding it in your mouth until you can get to the dental office.

Take an over-the-counter pain medication, but do not take aspirin if you are bleeding. Apply a cold compress to the side of your face where the tooth is fractured to reduce pain and swelling.

In the case of a knocked-out tooth, it is very important to seek dental treatment as soon as possible. If you can, call our office ahead of time to let us know you are on your way. The sooner you can be seen by our dentist in Kingston, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
