How to Handle Dental Emergencies
Knowing how to respond to a dental emergency can make a big difference:
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep the tooth moist. If possible, place it back in the socket or store it in milk, and call us immediately.
- Cracked Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on the affected side.
- Toothache: Gently floss to remove debris and rinse with warm salt water. Avoid applying aspirin directly to the tooth.
- Bleeding: Apply gentle pressure with gauze or a clean cloth.
Acting quickly can minimize damage and improve the chances of saving your tooth.
