Knocked-out tooth: Retrieve the tooth and clean
off the root, but be careful not to scrub it or further damage
any attached strands of tissue. If possible, put the tooth back
in the socket. Otherwise, place it in a container with milk
or water.
Broken
Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a
cold compress to reduce swelling.
Bitten
Tongue/Lip: Clean the area gently with a cloth and
apply a cold compress. If bleeding persists, go to an ER immediately.
Objects
Caught: Try to remove by gently flossing. Do not use
a sharp instrument in between the teeth.
Toothache:
Rinse the mouth with warm water. Floss to ensure that no foreign
objects or food are wedged between the teeth. Never put aspirin
or any painkiller on the gums or near the aching tooth –
it can result in a serious chemical burn.
