Common Dental Emergencies & How to Handle Them
Severe Toothache 🦷⚡
✔ Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss around the affected tooth to remove any debris.
✔ Do not place aspirin directly on the gum, as it can cause irritation.
✔ If the pain persists or you notice swelling, call us immediately for an appointment.
Knocked-Out Permanent Tooth 🦷🩸
✔ Handle the tooth by the crown (avoid touching the root).
✔ Gently rinse with water if dirty—do not scrub or remove tissue fragments.
✔ Try to place the tooth back in the socket and bite down on gauze.
✔ If reinsertion isn’t possible, store the tooth in milk or saliva and call us immediately—time is critical for saving the tooth!
💡 A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved if treated within 30-60 minutes.
Chipped or Broken Tooth 🦷🔹
✔ Rinse with lukewarm water to clean the area.
✔ Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
✔ If possible, find and store the broken tooth fragment in milk, and bring it to your appointment.
✔ If more than half of the tooth is broken, call us right away for urgent treatment.
Cut or Bitten Lip, Tongue, or Cheek 🩹
✔ Apply ice to reduce swelling.
✔ Use clean gauze or a cloth to apply pressure and stop bleeding.
✔ If bleeding persists, seek medical attention immediately.
