Steady Care When Something Goes Wrong
Dental trouble rarely waits for a convenient moment, and being seen quickly often decides how comfortable you stay and how much of a tooth can be saved. Our team at LaFauci Dental Group in Middleton, MA holds room in the daily schedule for urgent problems, whether that means a toothache that kept you awake, a tooth knocked loose or broken in a fall, a filling or crown that came out, or swelling that appeared overnight. Reaching us early lets us settle the pain first and then plan the repair without rushing. Dr. Richard LaFauci, DMD, and our team see urgent cases from Middleton, Peabody, and the towns nearby.

General Dental Emergencies
What to do about the most common minor dental emergencies.
Call our Middleton office immediately, then follow these steps.
Handle the tooth by the crown only, never the root, and rinse it briefly under water.
Slip the tooth back into its socket as soon as you can and bite gently on clean gauze to hold it steady.
If it will not go back in, tuck the tooth into a small container of milk or your own saliva and bring it along to your appointment.
