Please stay calm as we help you deal with your concern.

Calling-the-doctor

There are a number of common situations our Sumner dental team is able to help you with. Whether it be a toothache, trauma, or a missing tooth, we can provide reliable advice and help you remove the pain.

Here are step-by-step instructions of what to do in a dental emergency.

If you believe the injuries are life-threatening then call 911 or go to the nearest hospital.

COMMON PROBLEMS, REAL ASSISTANCE

Please take a look at our help guide for dental emergencies.

Are you suffering from a...

Try a save any pieces of the tooth that have broken away. Rinse them in warm water, place in a clean container, and cover with them in milk, water, and some salt.

Rinse the injured person’s mouth with warm water and attempt to stop any bleeding. Apply a clean gauze or cloth to the area and apply pressure. If the bleeding doesn’t stop after 10 minutes then call our dental team or go to the hospital.

When a tooth is knocked out, you need to act fast – call us asap!

Only hold the tooth by the crown – do not touch the root.

Rinse the injured person’s mouth with warm water and attempt to stop any bleeding. Apply a clean gauze to the area and apply pressure. If the bleeding doesn’t stop after 10 minutes then call our dental team or go to the hospital.

Where possible, attempt to replace the tooth into the gum socket. Do not be too firm but gently place some pressure.

If you can’t replace it, then rinse the tooth in warm water, place in a small container, and cover with milk, water, and some salt.

When you lose a crown or a filling, it is extremely rare that we need to see you the same day. Please schedule an appointment with us. Prior to your visit, here is what you need to do:

Fillings: If you find the filling, place in a clean container and bring it with you to your appointment.

Crowns: If you find the crown, give it a good clean and line the inside with toothpaste or dental adhesive. You can then attempt to replace it or keep safe in a container.

If you are suffering from a severe toothache then inspect the tooth and clean the area. Use floss to remove any debris and check the gum line too. If the pain persists then please call our Sumner dentist at (253) 863-2995.

This is the most professional, clean, and quick dental office I have ever seen. I've always been nervous about dental work because I don't numb up easily but Dr. Crane and his whole staff were EXCELLENT and my visit was PAINLESS; I can't come up with high enough praise. I've had longer and worse oil changes!

I love coming here because the front office always takes care of me right away and friendly service. Always going above and beyond with customer questions and billing. Even after a year of not coming in they still recognized me by name. This is why I make the drive to come here 🙂

Today I visited Dr, Crane for a tooth that had broken. I was greeted by the office staff, who were extremely friendly. Dr, Crane went over a treatment plan with me. I felt very comfortable. I have a phobia of going to the dentist and today I felt no anxiety, during my visit. Dr. Crane is very educational and professional and down to earth. I feel very confident in my choice choosing Dental care of Sumner.

I'll be the first to admit.... I hate going to the dentist. But Dr. Crane and his staff are phenomenal!!!!! Melissa was the best dental assistant, she made sure I felt comfortable and at ease. My teeth are in horrible condition, and they gave me hope and did not make me feel judged like other places have in the past.
