What to Do if a Dental Emergency Occurs?

You should call your dentist right away if you have a dental emergency. If you don't have a dentist, you can search for one online or by contacting your community dental organization.

You can take over-the-counter painkillers to get relief if you're in a lot of pain. To address the underlying issue, it's crucial to visit a dentist as soon as feasible.

When a tooth is knocked out, it's crucial to look for the tooth and handle it gently by the crown rather than the root. You might try to re-insert the tooth into the socket by gently rinsing it with water. If that isn't an option, put the tooth in a container of milk or saliva and bring it to the dentist with you.

Apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth and rinse your mouth with warm water if you have a broken or fractured tooth to lessen swelling.

You can temporarily cover a cavity caused by a lost filling or crown with a piece of sugarless gum to help safeguard the tooth until you can visit a dentist.
