Our Patients Often Ask:

  • If you're experiencing a dental emergency, please contact us immediately at 1-352-DENTIST or contact us here. Dr. German and our team are ready to handle severe dental infections, broken teeth, and other urgent dental issues. Call or email now to get the care you need.

  • For immediate relief, try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water and applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also help, but it’s crucial to contact us at 352-Dentist as soon as possible to schedule an urgent appointment.

  • Over-the-counter pain medications, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can be effective. You can also apply a cold compress to the affected area. Avoid extreme temperatures in food and drink as these can worsen the pain. Dr. German advises contacting our office if the pain persists.

  • If you break a tooth, rinse your mouth and the broken pieces with warm water. If there’s bleeding, apply a piece of gauze to the area for about 10 minutes or until the bleeding stops. Contact our office immediately for further instructions and to schedule a repair.

  • Avoid chewing on the side of the cracked tooth and stick to soft foods. Keep the tooth clean and avoid extreme temperatures. Visit us promptly; repair options include bonding, crowns, or in severe cases, a root canal or extraction.

  • Rinse your mouth with a saltwater solution, use a cold compress on your cheek, and avoid putting pressure on the swollen area. Swelling often indicates an infection, so it’s critical to seek urgent care from Dr. German.

  • Home care for an abscess may involve rinsing with warm salt water several times a day to reduce pain and draw the pus to the surface. However, it’s important to see Dr. German at our office quickly because abscesses can lead to more serious infections.

  • At 352-Dentist, we often offer same-day services for emergency cases such as broken fillings. Contact us immediately for quick repair options to prevent further damage or infection.

  • Save any pieces of the chipped tooth you can find, and rinse your mouth and the pieces with warm water. If the area is bleeding, apply a piece of gauze. Dr. German can often repair chipped teeth with a filling or crown.

  • Treatments for sensitive teeth pain at our office include desensitizing toothpaste, fluoride gel treatments, bonding, and crowns. Visit us to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
