Dental Emergencies:
Knocked out tooth
Object lodged between teeth
Cracked or fractured tooth
Severe toothache
What you can do right now:
Knocked out tooth
For a knocked-out permanent or adult tooth, keep it moist at all times. If you can, try placing the tooth back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, place it in between your cheek and gums, or in milk. Then, call our office right away.
Object lodged between teeth
For objects stuck between teeth, try to gently remove with dental floss but do not try to remove it with sharp or pointed instruments.
Cracked or fractured tooth
For a cracked tooth, immediately rinse the mouth with warm water to clean the area. Put cold compresses on the face to keep any swelling down. Do not put aspirin on the aching tooth or gum tissues.
Severe toothache
For toothaches, rinse the mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss to remove any food caught between the teeth. Do not put aspirin on the aching tooth or gum tissues.
