You never know when a dental emergency will happen, but you can be prepared in case it does. If you have a first-aid kit, include these items to help save your smile.

Also, remember to call 214-740-6082 as soon as you can to get care at Dossett Dental in Frisco, TX.

Medical Gloves

Whether someone is helping you or you are helping someone else, you want to be as safe as possible. That starts with protecting yourself by wearing medical gloves.

Dental Floss

Something caught in your teeth or between your teeth and gums can be painful and cause irritation. Floss can be an effective way to remove those things in many instances.

Small Container

You may be able to save a tooth that has been knocked out. If you can find it, clean it and try to place the tooth back in its socket. If the tooth doesn’t stay, put it in the container with milk or saliva.

Pain Reliever

Topical gel or over-the-counter pain medicine can reduce pain until you are able to get treatment. 

Sugar-Free Gum

Think about this as a temporary fix for specific issues. Did your dental crown come off? Gum can act as a temporary adhesive. Broken or cracked tooth? Gum can cover that tooth until you see a dentist.

During your dental emergencies in Frisco, TX, stay calm and act quickly. You can effectively manage your situation until you receive professional care.
