Quick First Aid Tips
Knocked-Out Tooth
Hold the tooth by the top part (the chewing surface), not the root. If it's dirty, rinse it gently with water (do NOT scrub). If you can, try to gently put the tooth back into its socket. If you can't, put it in a cup of milk or a special tooth saving kit. If you don't have those, keep it in your mouth next to your cheek. Call us RIGHT AWAY – we need to act fast to save the tooth.
Cracked or Broken Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water right away to clean the area. Put a cold pack on your face outside the injured area to help with swelling and pain. You can take over-the-counter pain medicine if needed (follow directions). Don't chew on the side of your mouth where the tooth is hurt. Call us for an urgent appointment.
Lost Filling or Crown
If you find the crown or filling, keep it safe and bring it to your appointment. You can try to put a crown back on temporarily using dental cement, petroleum jelly, or toothpaste—but don’t force it. Don’t chew on the affected tooth. Contact us as soon as you can to prevent further damage.
Dental Abscess
An abscess is a serious infection. Rinse your mouth several times a day with a mild salt water solution (½ tsp of salt in 8 oz of water). This may help bring the pus to the surface and offer some relief. But rinsing isn’t a replacement for dental care. Call us right away – dental infections can spread quickly.
Bad Toothache
Rinse with warm water and gently floss to remove any food debris. Do NOT place aspirin directly on the gums or sore tooth—it can burn tissue. Use a cold compress on the cheek if there's swelling. Call us right away to get relief.
Something Stuck Between Teeth
Try to gently remove it with floss. Avoid sharp tools to prevent injury. If floss doesn’t work, contact us for help.
