Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful Answers to Common Patient Questions

  • What is considered a dental emergency?

    A dental emergency is an oral health problem that requires prompt professional attention. Common examples include severe tooth pain, swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, a broken or knocked-out tooth, a dental infection, or damage to a filling or crown. Contact Creekview Dental if your symptoms are persistent, worsening, or interfering with normal activities.

  • What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

    Pick up the tooth by the crown and avoid touching the root. If necessary, rinse it gently with water without scrubbing it. Try to place the tooth back into the socket without forcing it. If this is not possible, keep it moist in milk or a tooth-preservation product and contact Creekview Dental immediately. Do not place a knocked-out baby tooth back into the socket.

  • How can I relieve tooth pain before my visit?

    Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and carefully floss around the affected tooth to remove trapped food. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face if swelling is present. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums. Contact our office for guidance and follow any medication directions provided by your healthcare professional or the product label.

  • Should I contact a dentist for facial or gum swelling?

    Yes. Swelling around a tooth, the gums, or the jaw may indicate an infection or another dental concern that requires prompt attention. Contact Creekview Dental, describe where the swelling is located, and explain whether it is accompanied by pain, fever, sensitivity, or a bad taste in your mouth.

  • What if my dental emergency happens after hours?

    Call Creekview Dental at (651) 738-8204 and listen to the complete voicemail message for current after-hours instructions. Protect the affected area, avoid chewing on damaged teeth or restorations, and contact the office again when regular business hours resume if further assistance is needed.
