Why People Love Floss Dental Collective

Sarah D.
I highly recommend Floss Dental Collective. The hygienists who run the clinic are really knowledgeable and helpful, and they finally got me flossing. They are also great with kids and always make me laugh, which is delightfully awkward when one is having dental work done. The dentists are fantastic too.
Sarah M.
Always a great experience at Floss Dental ! The environment is so clean, warm, and calming. The staff are very friendly and competent. Dr. Betty Le is someone I completely trust with my dental needs and she makes me feel at ease. Highly recommend this dental office to anyone who has anxieties going to the dentist.

So happy I found this team!

How to Handle Dental Emergencies

In the event of a dental emergency, here’s how you can manage the situation before reaching the dentist:

  • For knocked-out teeth: Keep the tooth moist at all times. Try placing it back in the socket without touching the root or, alternatively, in milk.
  • For cracked teeth: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
  • For tissue injury: Rinse your mouth with a mild salt-water solution and apply pressure to the site with gauze to control bleeding.

How We Treat Dental Emergencies & Injuries

At Floss Dental Collective, our immediate priority during a dental emergency is to alleviate your pain and stabilize your condition as quickly as possible. Here’s a closer look at our comprehensive emergency care process:

Rapid Assessment

Upon your arrival, Dr. Le and her team prioritize a swift and thorough assessment of your condition. We use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately pinpoint the problem. This rapid evaluation allows us to determine the most effective treatment plan on the spot, ensuring you receive the precise care you need without delay.

Immediate Pain Relief

Understanding the distress that dental pain can cause, our first step is to administer appropriate pain relief measures. This may include local anesthesia to numb the affected area and, if necessary, prescription pain relievers that can help manage severe discomfort until the treatment takes effect.

Stabilization of Condition

Once pain relief is underway, we focus on stabilizing your dental condition. This step is crucial to prevent further damage and to prepare for any necessary procedures. For example, if you have a knocked-out tooth, we will attempt to reinsert it promptly or, if that's not possible, preserve it correctly while we prepare for further steps.

Post-Treatment Care

After addressing the immediate emergency, we discuss the next steps in your dental care journey. This might involve scheduling follow-up appointments for definitive treatment or providing instructions for home care to ensure successful healing. We also tailor advice on how to manage your recovery, including guidelines on diet, hygiene practices, and any temporary limitations on activities.

Continued Support

We understand that recovery from a dental emergency doesn’t end when you leave our office. Dr. Le and her team are committed to providing ongoing support. We're always available to answer questions or concerns that may arise after your treatment, ensuring you feel secure and informed throughout your recovery process.
