Dental emergencies may not be life threatening, but they can cause severe pain and can even lead to permanent disfigurement if not handled properly. It’s important to know exactly who to call and where to go in case someone in your family has a dental emergency.

What to do in Case of a Dental Emergency

Immediate action should be taken to minimize the pain and damage from a dental injury or sudden illness depending on the nature of the emergency.

  • Knocked Out Tooth– First try replacing the tooth in its socket. If this isn’t possible just keep it moist by placing it back in the mouth between the cheek and gums or keep it in a glass of milk.
  • Cracked or Chipped Tooth– Rinse the mouth with warm salt water and use a cold compress over the face for pain.
  • Severe Toothache– Rinse the mouth with warm water and take an over the counter pain reliever until you can see the dentist.
