What to Do in a Dental Emergency
1. Stay Calm
Take a deep breath. Most dental emergencies can be treated successfully if you act quickly and calmly.
2. Call Us Immediately
Contact Meridian Dental at (972) 255-3400. We prioritize emergency cases and will schedule you as soon as possible.
3. Manage Pain & Bleeding
Rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Use clean gauze to control bleeding.
4. Preserve Damaged Teeth
A knocked-out tooth is a dental emergency requiring immediate action, ideally within 30-60 minutes, to save it. Pick up the tooth by the crown (top), not the root, gently rinse dirt off with milk or water (do not scrub), and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that fails, store it in milk, saliva, or a save-a-tooth kit while rushing to a dentist.
