What You Can Do Right Now*

Knocked-Out Permanent Tooth

  • Time matters. Handle the tooth by the crown rather than the root. If it is dirty, gently rinse it with water without scrubbing it.

  • If possible, carefully return the tooth to its socket. Otherwise, keep the tooth moist in milk and call us immediately.

  • A knocked-out baby tooth should not be placed back into the socket.

Bleeding or Soft-Tissue Injury

  • Gently rinse the area with cool or cold water to remove blood or debris.

  • Apply firm, continuous pressure with clean gauze directly over the bleeding area. A cold compress on the outside of the mouth may also help reduce bleeding and swelling.

  • Avoid repeated or vigorous rinsing, which can disturb a forming blood clot.

  • If bleeding is heavy, cannot be controlled, or will not stop, seek immediate medical care.

Broken or Cracked Tooth

  • Gently rinse your mouth with warm water and avoid chewing on the injured tooth.

  • A cold compress applied to the outside of the face may help reduce swelling.

  • Save any pieces of the tooth if you can and call us for an evaluation.

Dental Swelling or Possible Infection

  • Swelling around a tooth or gum may indicate an infection and should be evaluated promptly.

  • Apply a cold compress to the outside of the face to help reduce swelling and discomfort. Keep the area gently clean.

  • Rapidly increasing facial or neck swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or other potentially life-threatening symptoms require emergency medical attention. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Severe Toothache

  • Rinse gently with warm water and carefully floss around the tooth in case food or debris is trapped.

  • Do not place aspirin directly against the tooth or gums.

  • Persistent or severe tooth pain should be evaluated to determine the cause.

Lost Crown or Filling

  • Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on the affected tooth. If a crown has come off, save it and bring it with you.

  • If the crown slips back into place easily and comfortably, it may be gently repositioned temporarily. An over-the-counter temporary dental cement may also be used. Do not force the crown into place and never use household glue.

  • Call us to arrange an evaluation.
