Take Action
A dental emergency can happen at any time for any reason. When it does happen, it’s crucial to know what steps to take. The most important thing is to remain calm and contact Dr. Kneib at Broadway Dentistry. After visiting the emergency room for an oral injury, we can help with the healing process afterward.
When you call us for an emergency appointment, we will do our best to get you to see us on the same day. Do not hesitate to contact us to set up an emergency appointment.

Preventing a Dental Emergency
When it comes to dental emergencies, prevention is the best treatment. While it’s not always possible to avoid a dental emergency, here are some steps you can take to help protect your oral health:
- Wear a mouthguard when playing sports. If you don’t have a mouthguard, our dentist can customize one.
- Practice regular oral hygiene. It includes brushing at least twice a day, flossing at least once a day, preferably before bedtime, and rinsing between meals.
- Avoid tobacco products and limit alcohol. Tobacco and alcohol often inhibit your body’s ability to heal, exacerbating any oral injury you may have or may receive.
- Avoid chewing on hard things and using your teeth to open things.
- Visit Broadway Dentistry in Broadway, VA, at least once every six months for dental exams.
