Toothaches

Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue.

Broken, Fractured, or Displaced Tooth

A broken, fractured or displaced tooth is usually not a cause for alarm, as long as decisive, quick action is taken.

If the tooth has been knocked out, try to place the tooth back in its socket while waiting to see your dentist.

First, rinse the mouth of any blood or other debris and place a cold cloth or compress on the cheek near the injury. This will keep down swelling.

If you cannot locate the tooth back in its socket, hold the dislocated tooth by the crown - not the root. Next, place it in a container of warm milk, saline or the victim's own saliva and keep it in the solution until you arrive at the emergency room or dentist's office.

For a fractured tooth, it is best to rinse with warm water and again, apply a cold pack or compress. Ibuprofen may be used to help keep down swelling.

If the tooth fracture is minor, the tooth can be sanded or if necessary, restored by the dentist if the pulp is not severely damaged.

If a child's primary tooth has been loosened by an injury or an emerging permanent tooth, try getting the child to gently bite down on an apple or piece of caramel; in some cases, the tooth will easily separate from the gum.

    Our family has been going to Giebenhain Dental for the past 25 years. The entire staff at Giebenhain Dental is extremely friendly and professional and they sure make you feel at home. Dr. Giebenhain is very knowledgeable and detail oriented. The office is very nice and comfortable and the view from the dental chair is very peaceful. I’ve had the opportunity of having both hygienists clean my teeth and they understand my sensitivity in a couple of areas and are very careful not to make me flinch. If you are looking for a dentist I would highly recommend Dr. Giebenhain and his wonderful staff.

    My husband and I have been long-time patients and continue to love Giebenhain Dental even though we could go somewhere closer to our house. We love it because of the family atmosphere! Everyone is very professional, but also very personable and friendly. You always feel welcome from the minute you walk through the door.

    Giebenhain Dental is a great choice for working families. Accommodating office hours, helpful appointment reminders and efficient care are just some of the benefits of dental care at Giebenhain Dental. The staff is friendly and professional and I love the "up north" feel of the office reception area. I highly recommend Giebenhain Dental.

    Our family of five has been going to Giebenhain Dental for nearly 15 years -- Dr. John is the only dentist our girls have ever had. We enjoy the personal yet professional atmosphere during every one of our visits. The entire staff makes our family feel welcome and it's clear they truly care about our health and happiness. We always leave with a smile -- a cleaner, healthier smile! We wouldn't go anywhere else!
