Dental emergencies never happen at convenient times — a sudden toothache, a broken crown, or a knocked-out tooth can strike anytime. Knowing what to do in those first few minutes can make the difference between saving and losing a tooth.

The most important step? Don’t panic — act fast.

If a tooth is knocked out, gently rinse it with water (avoid scrubbing) and try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk until you reach the dentist. For severe pain or swelling, use a cold compress and call us immediately.

At Better Image Dentistry, we provide prompt, same-day emergency care to relieve pain and prevent further damage. Our experienced team handles everything from infections to injuries with precision and empathy.

Our goal isn’t just to fix the emergency — it’s to identify what caused it and help prevent it from happening again.

If you’re ever unsure about what counts as a dental emergency, call us — we’ll guide you through the next steps. Because when it comes to your smile, every minute matters.
