Dental Emergencies

We do not set aside time daily for dental emergencies such as trauma or a toothache. However, during office hours, we will do our best to see your child as soon as possible  if they are experiencing dental pain.

If your child experiences an after hours emergency, we have an after hours number which will be connect you to Dr. Johnson
or Dr. Cox Davalos directly. We care about our patients and hope that you feel comfortable enough to call us at anytime if your child is experiencing dental pain.

If your child is experiencing a serious or life threatening emergency, please call 911 or visit the nearest emergency room.

Gently clean the area around the tooth by rinsing the mouth with warm water and gently flossing to remove any particles that may be lodged in the tissue around the tooth. If the pain continues, or if the area around the affected tooth is warm, please call our office to schedule an appointment.

Apply ice to help reduce swelling and apply pressure with a clean cloth or sterile gauze to stop any bleeding. If the bleeding continues, call your physician or visit your local emergency room.

Please call our office to schedule an appointment.

Call our office right away and take these steps. 1) Do not touch the tooth root, but hold the tooth by the crown and gently rinse the tooth with water. 2) Place the tooth back into the socket as quickly as possible and bite down on clean gauze to hold it in place. 3) If the tooth cannot be placed in the socket, put the tooth in a small container of milk or saliva and bring it with you to your appointment.

Gently rinse the area with lukewarm water and place a cold compress on the face to reduce swelling. If you can locate the piece of broken tooth, place the piece in milk, and bring it with you to the office. If more than half of the tooth is broken off, please call us immediately.
