What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Knocked-out tooth help
Hold the tooth by the crown, rinse gently if dirty, and try placing it back in the socket. If not possible, keep it in milk or saliva and seek care promptly.
Toothache treatment
Rinse with warm water, gently floss to remove debris, take pain relief as directed, and apply a cold compress outside the cheek.
Broken tooth repair
Save any fragments, rinse your mouth with warm water, and use gauze for bleeding if needed. A cold compress can reduce swelling.
Dental abscess treatment
Rinse with saltwater, use pain relief as directed, and seek care as soon as possible, as infections may worsen if left untreated.
