Why is prompt treatment important for dental emergencies?

Immediate professional examination and care give the best chance to save affected teeth and protect overall oral health.

What should I do before arriving for emergency dental care?
While waiting to be seen, rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area, and gently floss to remove trapped debris. Use a cold compress for swelling and avoid inserting medications directly on the gums. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, keep it moist in milk or saliva while you seek care, as rapid action may save the tooth.
