What to Do During a Dental Emergency
Knowing how to handle a dental emergency until you reach professional care can help minimize damage:
- Tooth Knocked Out: Try to place the tooth back in the socket or store it in milk or saliva. Seek care immediately.
- Broken Tooth: Rinse with warm water and save any broken pieces. Apply gauze if there’s bleeding and a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Abscess or Swelling:Â Do not attempt to drain the area. Rinse gently with salt water and seek care right away to prevent the infection from spreading.
