For tooth pain, broken teeth, lost restorations, or other dental problems without these medical warning signs, call our Pickerington dental office.
Pick up the tooth by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse it with water without scrubbing it. If possible, carefully place it back in the socket. If you can’t reinsert it, keep the tooth moist in milk and call us immediately. Getting dental care quickly can improve the chance of saving the tooth.
Rinse your mouth gently with warm water. Save any pieces you can find and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth until a dentist evaluates the tooth.
Rinse with warm water and gently floss around the painful tooth in case food is trapped between your teeth. Don’t place aspirin or another pain medication directly against your gums. Then call us so we can determine what’s causing the pain.
Keep the filling or crown if you still have it. Avoid chewing on that side and call our office so we can evaluate the tooth and determine whether the restoration can be repaired or needs to be replaced.
Unexpected dental treatment can also mean an unexpected expense. Our team can help you understand your insurance benefits and available payment options before moving forward whenever possible.
State Of The Art Smiles offers several payment and financing options, including Cherry. Learn more about insurance and financing or review Cherry Financing.

“I was in excruciating tooth pain and needed an emergency root canal. I hadn’t found a local dentist yet, and so many people recommended Dr. Katz. They fit me right in. From the welcome at the door to the friendly staff to Dr. Katz’s bedside manner, everything was amazing. I knew this was going to be my new family dentist.”
