How to Handle a Dental Emergency Before Your Visit
When an emergency happens, fast action can make a real difference in what can be done for your smile. If a tooth has been knocked out or broken, collect it quickly and rinse it in water or milk. Never pick up the tooth by the root, as this can damage the nerve endings. Return the tooth to the empty socket if possible; if not, store it in milk until your visit.
To treat pain, apply an ice pack to your face in the affected area. Combine this with a pain reliever for best effect. If you are bleeding, avoid aspirin; it has a blood-thinning effect that can make bleeding worse.
