HOW TO HANDLE DENTAL EMERGENCIES
Toothache
If a toothache develops, clean the painful area
using a brush and floss. Rinse with warm salt water. Do not place
an aspirin on the gums or tooth since this may cause a burn. Apply
a cold compress to any facial swelling. Take acetaminophen (Tylenol)
and call your dentist as soon as possible.
Lost (Avulsed) Tooth
If a permanent tooth is knocked completely out,
time is of the essence. Immediately call your dentist for an emergency
appointment. It is critical to get the person and their tooth
to the dental office within one half hour. This makes it possible
to re-implant the tooth with a high degree of success. Find the
tooth and, holding it only by its crown, gently rinse it to remove
dirt and/or debris. Do not scrub the tooth. If possible, gently
place the tooth back in its socket as a means of transport. Otherwise,
transport it in a cup of milk, salt water, or saliva. If none
of these are available, use a cup of plain water. You can also
tuck the tooth between the cheek and gums (unless the child is
too young.) Do not allow the tooth to dry out.
Loosened (Extruded) Teeth
If a tooth is pushed either inward or outward,
try to reposition it using light finger pressure. Do not force
the tooth into its socket. Try to get the injured person to a
dentist as soon as possible. The tooth may be stabilized and held
in place with a moist tissue or gauze on the way.
Broken (Fractured) Teeth
First rinse the mouth with warm water to keep
it clean. Immediate dental care is necessary. The treatment will
depend on the severity of the fracture and could range from smoothing
out the chip to bonding with a tooth colored resin material, to
placing a crown or cap. If there has been pulp (nerve) injury,
a root canal may be necessary.
Soft Tissue Injury
A soft tissue injury is when the tongue, lips
or cheeks are cut or punctured. If there is bleeding, apply firm
pressure with gauze or a clean cloth. If bleeding doesn't stop
within 15 minutes, take the person to a dentist's office or a
hospital emergency room. Stitches may be necessary. Otherwise,
clean the area with warm water using gauze or a clean cloth. Apply
an ice compress to the bruised or swollen area. Contact your dentist
for further instructions.
