How to manage an emergency dental problem before visiting a dentist?

Often people get nervous in emergencies, but whenever you have a dental emergency, you don’t have to panic. The first thing you have to do is contact us so that we can tell you whether you need emergency dental care or not and if so, then we can help you in arranging an appointment as soon as possible. We have brought some dos and don’ts for you which you can apply at the time of your dental emergency till the time you visit our clinic.

1. Pain in the Tooth

Dos

Gargle with warm water so that if any piece of food is stuck between the teeth, it comes out.

Consult your dentist or if you have knowledge of medicines, take medicines to reduce pain.

If your tooth gets swollen then apply a compress of cold water on your cheek.

Visit your dentist as soon as possible

Don’ts

Do not apply any pain-relieving medicine on the tooth, especially do not apply aspirin. There is a risk of soft tissue burns.

2. Cracked or Damaged teeth

Dos

Gargle with warm water to clean the mouth.

If your tooth breaks, try to keep it wet until you go to the dentist. If you want, you can also use spit or milk to keep it wet.

If there is continuous bleeding from the broken tooth, then press it with a little force with the help of a clean cloth or cotton and try to reach the dentist as soon as possible.

Even if there is swelling in the tooth, apply a compress of cold water on the cheek.

Don’ts

Do not use anything hot until you consult a dentist.

Do not use a tissue to compress or clean your teeth.

3. When bleeding from lips, cheeks, or gums

If swelling occurs, apply a compress of cold water to that area.

If the injury is severe or the bleeding is not stopping, go to the dentist as soon as possible.
