Dental emergencies can happen at the worst times! Everyone knows accidents happen, but it’s how you react after they happen which can be the difference between saving and losing a tooth. Below is the list of different dental emergencies and how to handle them!
Bitten Lip or Tongue
After cleaning the area with a clean cloth, apply cold to
reduce swelling.
Broken Tooth
Rinse your mouth to clean the area. After rising, use cold to keep the area from
swelling. It’s very important to call
your dentist ASAP.
Knocked Out Tooth
Holding the tooth by the crown (avoid the roots), rinse
it off in warm water. Do not try to scrub
anything off the tooth. If possible, try
and gently insert the tooth back into the socket. If not possible, put the tooth in a cup of
milk and call your dentist ASAP.
Toothache
Rinse your mouth with warm water. Gently floss the area surrounding the tooth,
making sure nothing it stuck between it.
Don’t put any aspirin on other medicine on the area. If the pain doesn’t subside, call your
dentist for an appointment.
