What To Do Before You Arrive
Knocked-Out Tooth
Gently rinse without scrubbing the root. Try to place it back in the socket or store in milk. See us within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving it.

Rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on that side.

Emergency Dental Care FAQs
Do you take walk-in emergencies?
Yes. We set aside time each day for dental emergencies. If you are in pain or have a broken tooth, call our office and we will do everything we can to see you the same day.
Can you save a knocked-out tooth?
Often, yes — if treated quickly. Keep it moist and come in immediately.
Will my emergency dental visit be painful?
We focus on keeping you as comfortable as possible. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and take a very gentle approach. IV sedation is also available through our licensed nurse anesthetist for patients who need deeper relaxation.
Should I wait and see if my toothache goes away on its own?
Tooth pain almost never resolves without treatment and usually signals infection, decay, or damage. The American Dental Association’s MouthHealthy resource notes that toothaches should be evaluated quickly, since delaying care can make the problem worse. At Apple Blossom Dental, we reserve time each day for dental emergencies so you can get relief fast.
