Dental Emergency FAQS
What do I do if I have a dental emergency?
Call Dr. Shulman’s office, an emergency dentist in Philadelphia, PA, as soon as possible. Seeking immediate treatment is the most effective choice because many dental concerns worsen over time. If you are experiencing a dire emergency dial 911.
What do I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Contact our dentist office immediately if you have a knocked out tooth. If possible, retrieve the lost tooth and place it in a cup of milk or your own saliva. Your dentist may be able to surgically place the tooth back into its socket within one hour of loss. Dental implants, dental bridges, and dentures can replace the missing tooth if you can not rescue it.
What do I do if I am feeling severe tooth pain?
You can take an over the counter pain reliever to improve symptoms. In severe cases, tooth decay or an abscess may be causing your pain. Schedule a visit with Dr. Shulman if pain persists and apply a cold compress if you are experiencing swelling. To avoid urgent dental care, address mild to moderate tooth pain today before it becomes a bigger problem. You simply need root canal therapy.
What do I do if my dental crown or filling breaks or falls out?
Contact our Philadelphia office and Dr. Shulman will be able to construct and fit you with a new dental restoration. Do not attempt to re-glue your restoration or reattach your crown or filling. Place your crown or filling in a container for safe keeping.
What do I do if my denture or dental bridge breaks?
If possible, schedule an appointment at our office and bring the broken appliance with you. Dr. Shulman will help you to determine the best treatment plan for replacing the appliance. In most cases, it’s much better to replace than repair a damaged bridge or denture. This is because damage can compromise the structural integrity of the tooth and cause more harm.
What do I do if an object is stuck between my teeth?
Do not use any sharp objects to try to remove the object as it may damage the tooth or gums. Gently floss between the teeth to see if this can remove the object. Contact our emergency dentist in Philadelphia if you can not remove the object.
