How to Care for a Dental Emergency at Home
Rinsing your mouth, applying cold compresses, taking Ibuprofen, and/or applying pressure to the area if it’s bleeding, are just some of the measures you can take, depending on your condition, before seeing a dentist as soon as possible.
Pain management is a priority when it comes to dental emergencies and there are a few steps you can take to potentially reduce pain before seeing a dentist.
If one or more of your teeth is loose and risks falling out, try keeping it in place with some gauze or placing it under your tongue. Placing it under your tongue helps keep the cells alive by keeping it in the same environment it’s used to. If it falls out, you can help preserve it by putting it in some milk. The key takeaway is to ensure the tooth is kept moist at all times and a dentist is seen within 24 hours.
