PREPARED FOR DENTAL EMERGENCY Thousands of dental emergencies take place every day. Knowing what to do can lessen the pain and save a tooth that might otherwise be lost. Call the dentist immediately for instructions on how to handle a dental emergency. Toothache: Do not wait Dr. Doug Tolle for a tooth to keep you up at night. Call as soon, as you realize you have a cavity or a problem. Tooth decay does not go away it just gets bigger. Never put aspirin or any other painkiller against the gums near the aching tooth or on top of the tooth. This can burn the gum tissue. Knocked-Out Tooth: Try to find the tooth! Rinse the tooth with water if it is dirty, do not scrub. Put the tooth in a cup of milk or milk like substance and bring it to the dentist immediately. Time is critical for successful reimplantation. Broken Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. Use cold compress on the outside of the cheek to help reduce the swelling.
