If you have a dental emergency, the steps you take immediately afterward can make a big difference in how your dentist treats the problem. See your dentist near Miami as soon as possible if you experience an emergency. This video offers advice for dealing with common dental issues.

If you lose a tooth, you may be able to preserve it and avoid dental implants if you take fast action. Rinse it off, and place it gently back into place if possible. If you can’t, put it in a glass of milk until you see your dentist. For a broken tooth, keep the chipped piece if you can and see your dentist. Cosmetic treatments, like veneers, can repair broken teeth. For tooth pain, rinse with warm salt water and make an appointment with your dentist.
