What to do in a dental emergency?
Please refer to the following list for steps to take in a dental emergency.
Floss in between your teeth and rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to your cheek to help swelling. Painkiller gels should not be used near a sore tooth as they can burn the gums and cause more pain.
Act quickly and pick up the tooth, holding onto the crown (the part you bite with). If dirty gently rinse the tooth, if possible using saline solution or milk. Do not use soap or scrub away any remaining tissue fragments. Gently re-insert the tooth into the empty socket if the person is conscious, or keep it moist again in milk or saline solution, in plastic-wrap or inside your cheek as saliva is better than nothing! Get to your dentist as soon as possible.
Apply a cold compress to your cheek to ease pain. Take over-the-counter pain medication if necessary.
Save any remaining pieces of teeth and rinse thoroughly. Rinse your mouth with warm water and, if necessary, apply gauze to the injured site to stop bleeding. A cold compress applied to your cheek can help swelling and soothe pain.
You can use dental temporary filling material from a chemist as a temporary solution until you make an appointment. If this is not available you can even use or sugar-free chewing gum as an emergency alternative. If you have lost a crown make sure you bring it with you. One of our dentists will replace your filling or crown at your emergency appointment.
Firstly, attempt to gently remove the object with dental floss. If it still can't be removed, contact our dental clinic right away.
Abscesses are infections that form under teeth and can spread if left untreated. Book an emergency appointment with us immediately if you notice any painful swelling in your mouth. In the meantime, rinse your mouth with a salt water solution to help relieve pain and draw pus to the surface.
Injuries to the gums, cheeks, tongue and lips often bleed and require urgent treatment. You can ease pain by rinsing your mouth with salt water. To help control bleeding, apply pressure to the site with gauze for 15-20 minutes. You can also hold a hot compress to your cheek for 5-10 minutes. Dentists are the best choice for all oral issues but alternatively see a doctor if you can't get a dental appointment.
Loose braces can be temporarily reattached with orthodontic wax before your dentist fixes them. If a band becomes loose, save it and call your dentist to have it reattached.
Rinse your mouth with salt water to keep your mouth clean and ease pain. You may be able to push the wire back into place using a soft pencil eraser. Use wax on the end of the loose wire to avoid it scratching the gums any more. Call dental practice if the wire won't move back into place or is broken.
