Responding to A Dental Emergency

Whether you’re a first responder to a dental emergency or you’re the victim, you may need to perform some basic first aid before you see a dentist.

Knocked-Out Tooth

If you have an adult tooth come out, time is of the essence. The sooner you can see an emergency dentist, the better the chance of saving your tooth.

Retrieve your tooth if you can
Ensure you only hold it by the crown (the top part)
Clean it gently with water or saliva
Place it back in its socket if you can and bite down gently on a piece of gauze to hold it in place
Alternatively, you can store it in a small container of saliva
See your dentist as soon as possible.

Broken Tooth or Lost Restoration

A tooth that has chipped, cracked or sustained damage to its restoration needs prompt, if not emergency dental care.

Use warm water to rinse out your mouth
If your tooth has sharp, jagged edges that can damage your tongue or cheeks, use a piece of gum to pack it with until you get to the dentist
Apply an ice pack to the outside of your cheek near the damaged tooth if you are experiencing swelling
See your dentist as soon as possible.
