The overall experience was great! Everyone was very friendly and easy to talk to. Sometimes dental cleanings can be uncomfortable but mine was a breeze. She even did a great job flossing and was very gentle. Thanks everyone I'll be back soon.

Always a great experience when going to First Choice. I used to have really bad anxiety when going to the dentist, I have not once felt bad after an appointment here. Everyone, takes the time to make sure you are comfortable, and I really appreciate the welcome feeling you get when walking in.

This place has been great. It is judgment free and professional with a family atmosphere. You won't regret a visit with any of the staff, this might be the only office I have ever visited that remembers me or my family by name. Give them a chance to change ur mind about dentists offices in general.

Lisa S.
I used to come to this dental clinic for years until I had to move to another state. I suffer from severe dental anxiety, but the staff here was exceptionally kind and patient with me. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who needs a little bit of extra care and support.
Maria L.
The dentist is super caring, she really is gentle and helped save my tooth. The end result would of been an extraction and losing the tooth. Not pretty. Also my son was very scared and he actually said he is not afraid anymore. That is priceless.

Keep Any Knocked-Out Teeth Moist

If a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist to increase the chances of saving it. Place the tooth in milk or gently hold it in your cheek. Avoid touching the root of the tooth to prevent damage.

Rinse Your Mouth with Warm Water

Gently rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the affected area. Avoid using hot or cold water, as it can increase sensitivity. If there’s bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze.

Apply a Cold Compress

To reduce swelling and discomfort, apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth near the affected area. This can help ease pain and reduce inflammation until you can get to our office.
