Dr. Tony Raper, DDSYour Olathe DentistOpen Monday to Thursday 8–5 and Friday 8–2. For an urgent problem, calling (913) 780-0011 is always fastest.
Not sure whether it counts as an emergency? Call and describe it. We would rather you asked.
If you have swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, bleeding that will not stop, or a serious facial injury, go to the nearest emergency room.
For pain, calling (913) 780-0011 is the fastest way in. If it can wait for a callback, send a few details and our team will call you during office hours.
General first aid while you are on your way. It is not a substitute for being seen, so call us first.
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently, keep it moist in milk or tucked in your cheek, and get to us fast.
Rinse with warm water, save any pieces you can find, and hold a cold compress on your cheek to limit swelling.
Rinse with warm salt water and floss gently on both sides of the tooth in case something is stuck there.
Bite down on clean gauze with firm, steady pressure. If the bleeding will not stop, treat it as a medical emergency.
Hold a cold compress on the outside of your cheek. Do not use heat, and do not put aspirin on the gum.
Keep the crown and bring it with you. Avoid chewing on that side and keep the area clean.
