Dental emergencies are stressful, but immediate action often improves outcomes.
Toothache with swelling
Use a cold compress and avoid heat. Contact the clinic immediately so we can evaluate for infection and provide rapid pain control.
Chipped or broken tooth
Rinse gently and save any fragments in clean saline or milk. Avoid chewing on that side until a dentist evaluates the fracture depth.
Knocked-out tooth
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If possible, place it back in the socket or store it in milk and seek care urgently.
