  • For chipped or broken teeth, save any pieces. Rinse your mouth using warm water and

    gently apply gauze if you are experiencing any bleeding. A cold compress can be applied

    to the outside of the mouth if there is any swelling or pain. Contact a dentist as soon as

    possible.

  • If your tooth is knocked out, pick up the tooth by the crown. This is the white area that is

    usually exposed in the mouth. If it is not possible to reinsert tooth, place it in a small cup

    of milk or water that contains a pinch of table salt. Contact a dentist immediately. Teeth

    that are knocked out have the greatest chances of being saved if returned to their socket

    quickly.

  • Lost fillings are another common dental emergency. For a temporary measure, use a

    small amount of dental cement or sugarless gum to cover the cavity. Gum that has sugar

    will cause pain. Contact a dentist right away.
