What to Do in a Dental Emergency

While waiting to see a dentist, follow these steps to protect your teeth and manage pain:

1. Toothache or Swelling

Rinse with warm salt water to reduce bacteria.
Take over-the-counter pain medication (avoid aspirin if bleeding is present).
Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.

2. Knocked-Out Tooth

Pick up the tooth by the crown (top), not the root.
Rinse gently with water (do not scrub).
Try to place the tooth back in the socket or store it in milk.
See a dentist immediately—the sooner, the better for chances of reattachment.

3. Chipped or Broken Tooth

Save any broken pieces.
Rinse your mouth with warm water.
Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
Avoid chewing on the affected tooth until treated.

4. Lost Filling or Crown

If possible, place sugar-free gum or dental cement over the exposed tooth.
Keep the crown safe and bring it with you to your appointment.
Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth.

5. Abscess or Infection

Rinse with warm salt water.
Do not pop or drain the abscess yourself.
Seek immediate dental care to prevent more serious complications.
