Dental emergencies can happen at any time. Knowing what to do in the first few minutes can mean the difference between saving or losing a tooth. Here is a quick guide on handling common dental emergencies before you reach Kavitha's Dental Enclave in Tirupur.
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, pick it up by the crown (the top part), not the root. Rinse it gently with water if it’s dirty, but do not scrub it. Try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it moist by placing it in a container of cold milk or your own saliva. Get to the dentist within 30 minutes.
Rinse your mouth with warm water. Use dental floss to gently remove any food caught between your teeth. Do not put aspirin directly on the aching tooth or gums, as it may burn the tissue. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek if there is swelling, and call an emergency dentist immediately.
Save any pieces of the broken tooth if possible. Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to your face to keep swelling down. See your dentist as soon as possible to prevent infection or further damage.
Do not delay treatment for a dental emergency. Call Kavitha's Dental Enclave immediately.
