Handling Dental Emergencies Before You Reach Us
Taking immediate steps during a dental emergency can mitigate damage before you reach our clinic:
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Rinse the tooth gently without touching the root. Attempt to place it back in its socket. If this isn’t possible, keep it moist in milk, saliva, or a tooth-preservation product.
- Severe Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss to remove any lodged food. Avoid putting aspirin on the aching tooth or gum.
- Cracked or Broken Tooth: Rinse with warm water to clean the area and use cold compresses to reduce swelling.
