What To Do Right Now, Quick Self-Care Tips
- Toothache: While waiting to see your dentist for a toothache, you can gently rinse your mouth with warm saltwater, take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek, avoid very hot, cold, or sugary foods, and maintain gentle brushing and flossing around the affected tooth.
- Chipped/Broken Tooth: If you have a chipped or broken tooth, rinse your mouth gently with warm water, use a cold compress to reduce swelling, take over-the-counter pain relievers as needed, avoid chewing on the affected side, and keep the area clean with gentle brushing. Seek dental care as soon as possible to prevent further damage or infection.
- Lost Filling/Crown: If a filling or crown comes off, gently rinse your mouth with warm water to keep the area clean and remove any debris. Keep the crown, as it may be possible for your dentist to recement it. Avoid chewing on the affected side and stick to soft foods to prevent further damage. Schedule a dental visit as soon as possible to have the filling replaced or crown professionally recemented and protect your tooth from decay or sensitivity.
- Swelling/Infection: Do not apply heat. Call us promptly for evaluation and antibiotics if needed.
