When you call our office with an emergency, our team will provide instructions and guidance on how to care for your injury until you can meet with Dr. Matthew Phillips for treatment. These tips may include steps to alleviate pain, manage bleeding or keep a damaged tooth moist in cases of avulsion (a knocked-out tooth).
Please note, if you experience trauma to the head or neck, it is essential to call 911 or visit the emergency room first, as these injuries may require urgent medical evaluation beyond dental care.
