Immediate Care for Dental Emergencies in Fort Collins

Dental emergencies can range from sudden tooth pain to accidents resulting in broken or knocked-out teeth. Recognizing the signs of a dental emergency is the first step towards getting the care you need. Some common dental emergencies include:

• Severe toothache
• Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
• Knocked-out teeth
• Lost fillings or crowns
• Abscesses or severe infection

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's crucial to contact us immediately. Early intervention can be the key to saving your tooth and preventing further complications.

In the event of a dental emergency, taking the right actions quickly can make a significant difference in the outcome. Here are some steps to follow:

• For knocked-out teeth, try to place the tooth back in the socket or keep it moist in milk or saliva.
• If you have a broken tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Call Layton Family Dental at (970) 419-4711 for immediate assistance and advice.
