A dental emergency is any oral health issue that requires immediate attention. This can range from a severe toothache, broken or chipped tooth, knocked-out tooth, abscess or swelling, lost filling or crown, and any trauma or injury to the mouth.
Over-the-counter pain relievers, like ibuprofen, can help reduce discomfort. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water can also soothe pain. However, it’s crucial to avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums or tooth as it can cause burns.
Retrieve the tooth, holding it by the crown (top) and not the root. Rinse it gently without scrubbing. If possible, try to reinsert it into its socket. If that isn’t possible, store it in a container of milk or saltwater. Seek dental care immediately.
Yes, especially if action is taken promptly. Reinserting the tooth within an hour of it being knocked out can increase the chances of saving it.
Severe or persistent toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling in the gums or face, a lost crown or filling with pain, or bleeding that won’t stop. If facial swelling affects your breathing or swallowing, or there’s been serious trauma, go to the hospital emergency room first.
Rinse with warm salt water, gently floss out any trapped debris, use a cold compress on the outside of the cheek, and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the label. Don’t place aspirin against the gum — it burns the tissue.
A dental infection won’t resolve on its own. Depending on the tooth, treatment is usually root canal treatment or extraction — and the sooner it’s treated, the simpler the treatment tends to be.
