Emergencies - Olympia Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

Accidents happen to all of us, but with the help of Dr. Rob Stover and the staff at Olympia Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, you’ll know how to react in an emergency situation where your teeth, mouth or jaw are concerned. First, here is our phone number if you need to contact us in an emergency: 360.456.1200.

Next, we have provided some quick information for some common dental emergencies. In most cases, you will want to contact Dr. Stover and arrange an appointment with him as soon as possible to address your emergency situation.

Tooth Knocked Out: First, try to stick the tooth back in place and hold it there. Then get to the dentist as fast as possible. If replacing the tooth is not possible, place the tooth in a container of milk, or water, and then get to the dentist.

Fractured Tooth: To avoid further aggravation of the damaged tooth, place a small piece of soft wax into the area of the fracture. Avoid food or drink that are hot or cold to the touch, and make an appointment with the dentist as soon as possible.

Fractured Jaw: If you have suffered some kind of trauma to the jaw area, and you find that your jaw hurts when it moves, or if you can’t close your mouth in a normal fashion, then it is likely that your jaw has been fractured. Seek professional medical help at a hospital emergency room. The hospital will be able to treat your injury as well as advise you on whether you need to see your dentist or not.

Bitten Tongue or Lip: Biting or lacerating your tongue or lip may cause inflammation and bleeding. Use ice or pressure to control the swelling or bleeding. If the laceration is deep, or the swelling or bleeding does not subside, within 24 hours, you should contact your dentist and make an appointment.
