Next Steps Following a Dental Emergency
Depending on the emergency and type of treatment, prompt aftercare is often crucial for healing and comfort. After receiving urgent treatment, follow our personalized instructions carefully, including taking prescribed medications and avoiding certain foods. Maintain gentle oral hygiene to prevent infection and use cold compresses to reduce swelling. Monitor the area for unusual symptoms like prolonged bleeding or increasing pain, and contact your dentist if they occur.
