SECOND OPINION
Emergencies We Can Help With
Fractured, Cracked or Broken Teeth
Fractured and broken teeth may be painless or intensely painful. These at-home steps can help until you can see us:
- Rinse the tooth fragment and the mouth with lukewarm water.
- If there is bleeding, press gauze on the area for ten minutes.
- Place a cold, damp towel on the cheek to minimize swelling and pain.
- If you can’t make it to our office immediately, and the fractured tooth is painful or sharp to the tongue, cover it with over-the-counter dental cement or orthodontic wax (available at drugstore).
Loose Tooth or Knocked Out Tooth
A tooth that has been loosened due to trauma can often be saved. It is important to schedule an emergency visit as soon as possible. In the meantime, stay on a liquid diet so as not loosen the tooth any further. If your tooth has been knocked out, rinse the tooth gently in water and try to replace it in the socket if possible. Otherwise, place under the tongue or in water and come into the office immediately!

Testimonials
Meagan
“Hands down, the best dentist facility that I have ever been to. The dentist is extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and very precise while explaining his work. His team is extremely customer service driven, and they continuously go above and beyond to make you feel very comfortable! I have had a couple of different procedures completed in the last month, and I can honestly say that every one of them has been painless.”

“The only time I would smile is when I was caught off guard with a good joke. Dr. Mathew Rolfes changed that. He was informative, timely, confident, painless, and friendly. His team was also a pleasure to work with. Now I smile at everything."
Let Schwerer Dental Care Help Alleviate Your Discomfort and Restore Your Oral Health
Our goal is to get you back on the road to oral health as quickly as possible. As a trusted emergency dentist, you can count on our office for prompt, skilled, and reliable care.
Treatment for dental problems such as a toothache or a fractured tooth can vary. It all depends on the extent of the damage caused by the decay or trauma. Care may involve the placement of a new dental filling, dental bonding, or a larger restoration such as a crown to rebuild the tooth's form and function. If the damage has reached the tooth's nerve and vital inner tissues, you may need root canal treatment to save your natural tooth. Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure with a greater than 95% success rate. Although we provide leading-edge care and do all we can to help save your tooth, in some situations a dental extraction is required. While losing a tooth can feel a little overwhelming, there's no reason for despair.
With advances in dentistry, there are several options available for the replacement of missing teeth, including dental implants, conventional fixed bridges, and partial or complete dentures. Today, dental implants represent the most advanced method for replacing a lost tooth and reestablishing a complete and beautiful smile.
We look forward to helping you with your Emergency Dental Care needs. Call us! We will get you in and get you comfortable and healthy as soon as possible.
