One common emergency is a tooth getting knocked out. Teeth that have been knocked out can be re-implanted but time is a crucial factor. It is instinct to clean the tooth, but you shouldn’t wipe it off because it could remove important tissue.  If you knock out your tooth put it in some milk which will help preserve it until you get to the doctor.

Other dental emergencies may include a toothache, abscesses, swollen jaws or a crown and filling coming loose. In each of these cases, time is a crucial factor in helping to restore your teeth or tooth and you need to see a dentist as soon as possible.
