What Should You Do Before You Visit?
These tips can help protect your tooth and ease your pain until you can get to us.
- Pick it up by the top (the crown), not the root.
- If it’s dirty, rinse it gently with water. Don’t scrub it.
- Try to place it back in the socket and bite down softly on gauze. If you can’t, keep it in a small container of milk.
- Get to us within 30 to 60 minutes. That’s when a tooth has the best chance of being saved.
- Rinse with warm salt water and gently floss to remove any trapped food.
- Take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed on the label.
- Don’t place aspirin directly on your gums. It can burn the tissue.
- Save any pieces and bring them with you.
- Rinse with warm water and hold a cold compress against your cheek.
- Cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax.
- Keep the crown somewhere safe and bring it to your visit.
- Chew on the other side of your mouth.
- Never use superglue to reattach a crown.
- Rinse with warm salt water a few times a day.
- Don’t press on or try to pop the swollen area.
- Call us right away. A dental infection won’t clear up on its own.
When Should You Go to the ER Instead?
Go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 if you have:
- Swelling that makes it hard to breathe or swallow
- A high fever along with facial swelling
- A possible broken jaw or serious injury to your face or head
- Bleeding that won’t slow down after 15 minutes of firm pressure
Once you’re stable, give us a call, and we’ll take care of your tooth.
