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.

FAQ's
If you act promptly, you may be able to have your tooth transplanted.
If the tooth is unclean, the first step is to clean it. Milk, not water, should be used to clean the tooth. If you don't have any milk, put your missing tooth in your mouth and clean it with your saliva.
Avoid touching the roots (the area that is normally buried in your gums) of your missing tooth since they are very sensitive and injury can destroy your chances of replanting.
If you can act quickly enough to replace the tooth without causing pain, the next step is to see a dentist to ensure the greatest possible healing and survival.
It's not always possible to replace the tooth yourself. In this scenario, you should schedule an appointment with a dentist within the next 30 minutes to assure the best possible result. When this happens, you'll need to carry the tooth safely by covering it in plastic cling wrap, placing it in a milk bottle, or gently tucking it inside your cheek.
As previously stated, time is of the essence, and you must see a dentist as soon as possible.
When a tooth cracks, the dentine (the inner layer of the tooth) is exposed, which is made up of small tubes filled with fluid that link to the nerve pulp. Applying and releasing pressure on a broken tooth causes the fluid in the tiny tubes within the tooth to shift. This movement applies pressure to the nerve, which creates the shooting pain or dull throbbing sensations.
Even if you take great care of your teeth, you will almost certainly experience a toothache at some point in your life.
A dental cavity is the most common cause of toothache, but there are other causes as well.
Tooth sensitivity is caused by receding gums or a weakening of the tooth enamel.
It could be an indication of sensitive teeth if you suffer intense pains when eating or drinking cold or hot foods.
Using sensitive tooth toothpaste and a soft bristles toothbrush will greatly improve this problem, but you should still see your dentist to make sure it isn't a cavity.
If you have a fractured tooth, it may appear to be a disaster, but there are actions you can take to help a dentist repair the fracture or possibly restore the tooth.
If you break one of your teeth in an accident, identify the tooth fragments, rinse them with water, and keep them moist to boost the chances of reattaching the fractured tooth. You should make an appointment with your dentist right away.
If the tooth has been knocked out, replace it as soon as possible with a clean tooth in the socket (the gap in the gum where the tooth has come out from).
The crown (the part of the tooth that you eat and bite with) should be the only thing that is touched. Avoid contact with the root (the part usually in the gum). When a tooth is filthy, it must be cleaned thoroughly before being reinserted into the socket.
Keep the tooth in a liquid that can keep the cells on the surface of the root alive if you can't get it back into the socket. One of the greatest storage media for storing till you can get to the dentist is cold cow's milk.
Until you can see a dentist, make sure you do the following:
Warm water should be used to rinse the mouth.
Using a piece of gauze, apply pressure.
