What to Do During a Dental Emergency?

Knowing what to do in the first few moments of a dental emergency can make a big difference. Here are some simple steps to take before you reach our office:

  • For a Knocked-Out Tooth: Gently pick up the tooth by the crown (the chewing part), avoiding touching the root. If dirty, rinse it gently with water (do not scrub). Try to reinsert the tooth into its socket. If that’s not possible, place it in a cup of milk or your child’s saliva. Time is critical for saving a knocked-out tooth, so contact us immediately.
  • For a Cracked or Broken Tooth: Rinse your child’s mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to the face to reduce swelling.
  • For a Severe Toothache: Rinse the mouth with warm water. Gently floss around the tooth to remove any trapped food particles. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum or aching tooth.
  • For Swelling: Apply a cold compress to the outside of the face in the swollen area.
