Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies often happen at the most inconvenient times.  But what is a dental emergency? What might constitute an emergency to one person might not be to another.

There are many types of dental emergencies: a sports injury causes a broken tooth, or while eating a snack, you bite into something hard and break off the cusp of a tooth. 

W
eekends are often inconvenient times for dental emergencies because most dentist offices are closed then.  However, Firlik Family Dentistry offers emergency care for those who need it, when they need it. 

DENTAL EMERGENCIES:
  • Teeth that are chipped, cracked or broken
  • A knocked out tooth
  • An sports injury to the mouth
  • Excessive bleeding in the mouth
  • Gum swelling…with or without pain
  • Gum or mouth tissue abscesses
  • A vehicle accident causing oral pain or difficulty moving your jaw
  • Severe toothache or pain when chewing
  • Damage to a restoration such as a dental crown​

What you should do in a Dental Emergency

If the level of pain you are feeling is at a manageable level, you might wait until the office opens.  However, if you are experiencing a significant amount of pain or other serious issues, stay calm, and contact our office in Grand Rapids, MI as quickly as possible at (616) 361-0603. Dr. Firlik can help you.
​ 
In an instance that a tooth has been knocked out of its socket, it is vitally important that you get to our office quickly. Dr. Firlik might be able to re-implant the tooth. Do not let the tooth dry out!  Do one of these three things until you arrive at our office:
  1. Place the tooth (or teeth) in a container of saline solution
  2. Put the tooth (or teeth) in a glass of milk
  3. Place the tooth (or teeth) under your tongue

To request an appointment or if you have a dental emergency, call Firlik Family Dentistry at (616) 361-0603.
