What to do in an emergency?
Keep Calm
If you are dealing with dental trauma, the best thing you should do is to remain calm. While you may panic due to the stress and pain caused by the injury, rest assured that any dental issue can be treated. Dr. Joseph Haack and the team at 320 Dental Studio are ready to help you restore a healthy smile.
Minimize Bleeding
Once you have managed the situation, evaluate the condition of your injury. If you are bleeding, place gauze on the injured area. This should reduce bleeding as you seek emergency dental care.
Control Pain and swelling
Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen can help reduce pain temporarily. Besides, you can use a cold compress or an ice pack to reduce swelling around the affected area.
