Help the pain until you see a dentist
Call your dentist and request dental care immediately, even if you are unsure of what is wrong. Here are some few tips to help any pain and swelling until you can be looked at by a dental professional.
- For a knocked-out permanent adult tooth, it is important to keep the tooth moist at all times. Try to place the tooth gently back in its socket or between your check and gums until you get to the dentist office!
- For a cracked tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water immediately. Put a cold ice pack, or something similar, pressed to your face to help with swelling until you can see a dentist!
- If you bite your tongue or lip, gently clean the area with warm water and apply an ice pack in the meantime.
- For toothaches, clean out your mouth with warm water and gently use dental floss to remove any residue and food caught between the teeth. See a dentist immediately before the situation worsens.
- If an object is stuck in your mouth, try to gently remove it with floss only. Do not use sharp objects. If you cannot retrieve it with floss, see a dentist immediately.
