Emergency Dentistry in Dripping Springs, TX

While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, you can take some steps to reduce your risk of certain dental emergencies. We recommend that you maintain and protect your teeth and oral health by visiting us every six months for a dental exam and cleaning. We can catch early warning signs of dental problems and treat them before they turn into dental emergencies. We also recommend maintaining a consistent daily oral hygiene routine at home, protecting your teeth from damage, wearing a sports guard when playing sports, following a healthy diet, quitting smoking or using nicotine products, and drinking plenty of water.

If your tooth is knocked out, rinse the tooth root off in clean, cool water. Do not scrub it. Try to place your tooth back into its socket, but do not force it into place. If you can't replace your tooth, place it in a container of milk, salt water, or Save-a-Tooth. A tooth may be replanted if you see us within one hour.
