If you have a dental accident, quick action can help save your tooth.
If a tooth is chipped, cracked, or knocked out, gently rinse it, avoid touching the root, and try to place it back in the socket or store it in milk or saliva until you can be seen.
Apply a cold compress for swelling and call Winterset Dental right away so we can guide you on next steps and get you in as soon as possible.
Preventing tooth loss also starts with good dental management, brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between your teeth daily, and keeping up with regular exams and cleanings so small issues do not turn into bigger problems.
If you have gum bleeding, ongoing sensitivity, or a tooth that feels loose, do not wait, early treatment can make all the difference.
