Dental emergencies

Accidents happen, and knowing what to do when they occur can
make the difference between saving and losing a tooth.

Here are some tips for regular dental emergencies:

N In case of a split tooth, immediately rinse the mouth with warm water to clean the area. Put cold compresses on the face to lower the swelling.

N If you bite your tongue or lip, gently clean the area with water and apply cold compresses.

N In case of tooth pain, rinse the mouth with warm water to clean it. Use dental floss carefully to remove food trapped between your teeth. Do not put an aspirin on the hurting tooth or gum tissues.
