What To Do Right Now in a Dental Emergency
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, taking the right steps immediately can help protect your tooth and reduce complications until you see a dentist.
Knocked-Out Tooth
- Pick up the tooth by the white crown (top) only. Do not touch the root.
- Rinse gently with water if dirty (do not scrub).
- Place the tooth in milk or saliva.
- Call us immediately — time is critical.
Severe Toothache or Swelling
- Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.
- Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
- Apply a cold compress to the outside of the face if swelling is present.
- Contact our clinic as soon as possible for urgent assessment.
Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Tooth
- Rinse your mouth with warm water.
- If there is bleeding, apply gentle pressure with gauze.
- Avoid chewing on the affected side.
- Arrange an emergency appointment the same day where possible.
Lost Filling or Crown
- Keep the crown if it has come out.
- Avoid chewing on the exposed tooth.
- Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy may help short term.
- Book an urgent visit to prevent further damage.
Dental Infection or Abscess
- Swelling, pus, fever, or facial pain may indicate infection.

If you are unsure whether your issue is an emergency, it is always safer to call.
