Handling Broken or Knocked Out Teeth

If you have chipped, broken, or knocked out a tooth, try to locate the missing tooth fragment if possible. Be sure to not handle it by the root, as this can damage microscopic ligaments that aid in reattaching the tooth. Gently rinse away any debris before immediately submerging it in a cup of milk, contact solution, or saline.

For best results, bring it to our Chandler emergency dentist within 1-2 hours. In some cases, you may want to attempt to reinsert the tooth on your own, but will still need to be seen right away.

Prevent Dental Emergencies Before They Happen

One of the best ways to avoid a dental emergency is to see your dentist regularly for checkups, along with wearing a protective mouthguard during athletic events. Early detection of potential risks such as cracked teeth or aging fillings can allow us to address those problems before they cause an emergency later.

If you’re in pain or have a broken tooth, call Riggs Family Dental in Chandler right away. We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer convenient financing options for all dental treatments. New patients are welcome!

    Dr. Lopez is a 2005 graduate of Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.

This detective work allows him to assess the true causes of his patients’ dental problems, not just treat them on the surface. With this information, he can educate his patients on how to prevent, restore, or avoid further complications in the future.
