COMMON DENTAL EMERGENCIES
HAVING A TOOTH OR CROWN KNOCKED OUT
Natural or replacement teeth that are knocked out or that become loose after an accidental impact should be dealt with promptly. We suggest following these steps:
- Handle the tooth by the crown versus the roots
- Rinse the missing tooth beneath gently flowing water to wash away any debris
- If possible, place the tooth/crown carefully and gently back into the socket to prevent the roots from drying out. It mustn’t dry out.
- Alternately, place the tooth in a small container, fill it with milk until it is submerged, and bring it with you to your emergency care appointment.
- Place a clean cloth or gauze in the socket and press down gently to control bleeding.
HAVING A BROKEN TOOTH
Tooth fractures are a common emergency. You should complete the following if you have fractured any of your teeth:
- Rinse your mouth out with clean water
- Place a cold compress against the fractured tooth to help reduce swelling of the gums
- Place any chipped or broken pieces of tooth in a small container of milk and bring with you to our Hamilton emergency dentists
It’s a good idea to call us even if you think a fracture is minimal. More serious fractures may result in the loss of teeth if not treated.
HAVING AN INFECTED TOOTH
- Dull pain that may become quickly severe
- Swelling of the gums or soft tissue around the affected tooth
- Low-grade fever
- Bleeding gums around the affected tooth
- Pus or "pimples" on the gums
HAVING A SOFT TISSUE INJURY
- Rinse your mouth out with clean water
- Gently apply a clean cloth or gauze to the injury site and apply pressure to control bleeding
- Control pain and swelling with a cold compress
