Emergency Dentistry

You never expect a dental emergency but you should prepare for one.

We are available for dental emergencies and are available after hours. We always deal with your emergency efficiently and get you as comfortable as soon as possible.

The main emergency we deal with is the loss of a tooth:

Tooth Loss
If you have an accident where a tooth is knocked out, contact us as soon as possible. You have under an hour in which to save the tooth.

Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Touching the root can damage cells necessary for bone reattachment. Gently rinse the tooth in water to remove dirt. Do not scrub. Place the clean tooth in your mouth between the cheek and the gum to keep it moist.

If you have a dental emergency, contact us now and we will see you as soon as possible. We will make every attempt to schedule you immediately. We at Hope Island Dental Care are ready to see you.
