Steps For Knocked-Out Teeth:

• Immediately call our office
• Get to our office as soon as possible.
• Pick up the tooth by the crown (so you don’t damage the nerves), and rinse it under water. Do not touch the root.
• If the tooth cannot be placed back into the mouth, place it in a dental solution (available at pharmacies) or a glass of milk. It is important not to let the tooth dry out.
• If possible, place it back into its socket. If not, tuck it into the cheek pouch.

Steps For Lost Fillings Or Crowns:

• Clean the crown, and cement it into place using dental cement (found at pharmacies)
• Apply clove oil to the tooth to alleviate pain
• If the crown is lost, apply dental cement to the tooth to alleviate pain
• Make a dental appointment as soon as possible
• Do not use any kind of glue to affix the crown

Steps For A Cracked Or Broken Tooth:

• Take a topical pain reliever
• Rinse the tooth fragment and the mouth under lukewarm water
• Cover the area with over-the-counter dental cement if you are not able to see us immediately
• Apply gauze to the area for ten minutes if it is bleeding
• Place a cold, damp towel to the cheek to alleviate swelling and pain
