3 Steps To Go Through When You Have A Dental Emergency

If you live in the Milwaukee area and you are experiencing a painful dental emergency then you need to follow these three steps to ensure that you get your situation taken care of correctly.

Step 1: Getting The Pain To Stop

You may not have access to our Milwaukee emergency dental services right away, but you can do something to make the pain stop. Try some over the counter pain medications, and then use clove oil on the area. That, or try one of the numbing agents that are sold at the store. Know that this will only help a little, and getting the emergency cared for quickly will allow for you to be out of pain as soon as possible.

2. Give Our Milwaukee Dental Office A Call

You have to let us know that you’re looking to get help with your emergency as soon as you can so that you are able to get in to see one of our professionals. The key is to not worry about what time it is and find a way to use our contact information to get into touch with someone or at least leave a message. We know how much dental pain hurts, and so we are going to be able to get you in to get help quickly. Remember, the longer you wait the worse the problem will probably get.

3. Follow Instructions Before And After Your Appointment

When you work with us to set up an appointment just ask about what to do while you wait for it. We will let you know what you can take and how long you should probably refrain from things before you go in to get help from us. Make very sure that after your procedure, you listen to the rules we have on what you can eat and whether or not you can do things like smoke. For instance, if you get a tooth pulled and smoke immediately afterwards you may get a dry socket which will be painful and lead to the healing taking a longer time.
