You never want your loved ones to get injured, but you probably have first aid supplies ready just in case something happens. Likewise, we don’t want anyone to have a dental emergency, but we are ready to help at our Powell, TN dental office.

With that in mind, we want to suggest a few things you can keep on hand to help if you or a loved one needs urgent dental care. Also, remember to call us at 865-685-9939 as soon as you can in those situations.

Medical Gloves

You want to be as safe as you can when you are helping someone (or someone is helping you). Medical gloves can prevent blood from affecting anyone assisting another person during an emergency dental situation.

Dental Floss

When something is stuck in your teeth or between your teeth and gums, you want to remove it. Dental floss can be the best way to do this.

Sugar-Free Gum

When you need some kind of dental wax to cover a broken or cracked tooth or a temporary adhesive to re-place a loose crown, sugar-free gum can provide a temporary fix.

Pain Reliever

Toothaches and dental injuries hurt. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen or a topical gel can provide relief until you make it to our office.

Small Container

You want a container in case one of your teeth is knocked out of its socket. If you find it, you should rinse it clean. Try to put it back in its socket. If the tooth doesn’t remain in place, then you can put it in the container and cover it with milk or saliva. 

Call 865-685-9939 to make an appointment in Powell, TN when you have a dental emergency. For routine care, you can also schedule online.
