What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Knowing how to respond to a dental emergency can make a significant difference in preserving your oral health. Here are some steps you can take:

  • Severe Toothache
    Rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any debris. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth
    Keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or holding it in your mouth. Seek immediate dental care for the best chance of reattachment.
  • Chipped or Broken Tooth
    Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any broken pieces. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
  • Soft Tissue Injury
    Clean the area with warm water and apply gentle pressure to stop bleeding. Seek professional care if the bleeding persists.
