What to Do in a Dental Emergency
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.
Rinse with warm water, gently floss to remove debris, take pain relief as directed, and apply a cold compress outside the cheek.
Save any fragments, rinse your mouth with warm water, and use gauze for bleeding if needed. A cold compress can reduce swelling.
Rinse with saltwater, use pain relief as directed, and seek care as soon as possible, as infections may worsen if left untreated.
