How to Deal with a Dental Emergency?

Call Paige Prather smiles immediately
Rinse the affected area with warm water to remove debris
If any area is bleeding, apply gentle pressure using sterile gauze or a clean cloth
If you begin to experience symptoms such as swelling in the neck or below the chin, difficulty swallowing or trouble breathing you need to seek emergency care immediately.
