What should I do if my dental filling falls out?
If your filling falls out, clean the area by rinsing with warm salt water. Avoid chewing on the affected side and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can use temporary dental cement (available at most pharmacies) to protect the area.

How can I reduce pain before seeing an emergency dentist?
For temporary pain relief, try:
- Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen (avoid aspirin if bleeding).
- Rinsing with warm salt water to reduce bacteria.
- Applying a cold compress to minimize swelling.
However, these are temporary solutions—seek immediate dental care to address the root cause of the pain.
-
Will an emergency dentist pull a tooth on the same day?
In many cases, yes. If a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or beyond saving, we may perform an emergency extraction the same day. Dr. Akam will keep you informed every step of the way and try to save the tooth, if possible, with a root canal or other restorative treatments.
