What if You're Not Sure It's an Emergency?

What if You Knock Your Tooth Out?
If you knock your tooth out, contact Sunrise Dental immediately. There's only about an hour to attempt re-implantation. Pick up the tooth by the crown, taking care to avoid the roots.
If you're able, put the tooth back in the socket, and hold it in place gently with your tongue. If you can't keep the tooth in the socket, drop the knocked out tooth in a glass of regular cow's milk to preserve it until you arrive at our office.
What if a Filling is Loose?
Call Sunrise Dental right away for help. Don't eat or drink with an exposed cavity. If you can't get to Sunrise Dental right away, you can use an over the counter dental sealant or sugar-free gum to protect the exposed cavity in the interim.
Sunrise Dental is ready to help with your dental emergencies. Make an appointment online or call the office for help anytime.
