Knowing what steps to take in the moment can help reduce pain and save your tooth. Here are a few tips for common dental emergencies:
Rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress. Avoid applying aspirin directly to the gums.
Hold the tooth by the crown, rinse it gently, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk and call us immediately.
