Frequently asked questions
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
To prevent dental emergencies, maintain good oral hygiene, wear a mouthguard during sports, avoid chewing on hard objects, and attend regular dental checkups. At MSD Dental Studio, we provide comprehensive preventive care to help you avoid emergencies and maintain optimal oral health.
What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?
If your child has a dental emergency, stay calm and contact MSD Dental Studio immediately. For toothaches, rinse their mouth with warm water and use a cold compress. For knocked-out teeth, try to place the tooth back in its socket or keep it in milk. Prompt treatment is crucial for preserving dental health.
Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
A knocked-out tooth can often be saved if you act quickly. Rinse the tooth gently with water, try to place it back in its socket, or keep it in a container of milk. See a dentist within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth. At MSD Dental Studio, we provide prompt care for knocked-out teeth.
What are the signs of a dental abscess?
Signs of a dental abscess include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot and cold, swelling in the face or gums, fever, and a bad taste in the mouth. If you suspect you have an abscess, seek emergency dental care immediately, as it can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.
Are dental emergencies covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover emergency dental care, but coverage can vary. At MSD Dental Studio, we accept various insurance plans and offer flexible financing options to ensure you get the necessary treatment without financial stress. Contact us to discuss your specific insurance coverage and options.
What if I lose a filling or crown?
If you lose a filling or crown, keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. You can use dental cement (available at most pharmacies) as a temporary measure. Contact MSD Dental Studio for an emergency appointment to have the filling or crown replaced.
How can I manage severe tooth pain at home until I see the dentist?
To manage severe tooth pain until you can see a dentist, rinse your mouth with warm salt water, use over-the-counter pain relievers, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek, and avoid chewing on the affected side. However, these are temporary measures, and you should see a dentist as soon as possible.

You should see a dentist as soon as possible in a dental emergency. Quick treatment can save a tooth, prevent infection, and reduce pain. At MSD Dental Studio, we offer same-day appointments for emergencies to ensure you get the care you need promptly.
