Dental Emergency Tips
In the event that you do have an emergency and you are waiting for your dental appointment, then here is some advice.
The best option for severe toothache is to book an appointment with your dentist as they can find the cause of the pain and treat it as quickly as possible.
Some tips for severe toothache:
- Take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, to help reduce pain and discomfort while you await your emergency dental appointment.
- Apply a cold compress directly over the area onto your cheek to help reduce the pain (but not directly on the tooth as this can increase the pain).
Some top tips for a knocked out tooth include:
- Without touching anything other than the tooth itself (to avoid more damage or infection), put the tooth back the right way round in the correct socket.
- If this is not possible to put the tooth back in the correct socket, then store the tooth between the teeth and cheek.
- If the tooth cannot go back inside the mouth then keep it wet by placing it in a sealed container with either the patient’s saliva or milk.
- Apply a cold compress to the patient’s cheek.
- Place some sterile gauze over the bleeding area if you have any, and ask the patient to bite on it.
