Knocked-Out Tooth

If you’ve knocked out your tooth, it’s important to save the tooth so Dr. Fan can reattach it. Rinse the tooth off in water or milk, and safely store the tooth by tucking it inside your check to keep it moist, making sure to keep the root intact. Visit our Freehold dental office as soon as possible, so we can assess the damage and decide the best course of action.

Fractured Tooth

Call Dr. Fan immediately if your tooth is fractured or cracked. Take over-the-counter pain medication to minimize discomfort, and use ice packs liberally to reduce swelling in your face. The more ice packs you use at the beginning, the better off you’ll feel later.

Lost Crown

If you realize your temporary crown is coming off, try to catch it before you swallow it or lose it. Put a tiny dab of Vaseline on the back of the crown to temporarily bond it to your tooth, and make sure not to bite down too hard. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Fan as soon as possible to replace or re-cement the crown.

Infection

If you think you have any type of oral infection, you need to get help as quickly as possible. Call Dr. Fan immediately and schedule an appointment. No matter what, do not try to treat the infection yourself.

Facial Trauma

If you’ve been in an accident and hurt your jaw, you need to see Dr. Fan immediately. Make sure to ice your face to prevent swelling, and don’t eat solid food until Dr. Fan sees you.
