What to do while you wait for your Covington appointment

  • Numb the area safely: a cold pack wrapped in a cloth against the cheek, 15 minutes at a time. Skip numbing gels on broken skin.
  • Keep it clean: rinse gently with warm salt water after eating. Do not probe a cavity or socket with anything sharp.
  • Manage the pain: ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs. Never place a tablet against the gum.
  • Save what came out: a crown, a filling fragment or a whole tooth. A knocked-out tooth goes in milk and needs a dentist within the hour.

Read the full first-aid guides: lost crown, bleeding that will not stop, knocked-out tooth.

Do Covington emergency dentists treat children?
Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in Covington who treats children.
