What to Do If…

You Break a Tooth

The first thing you need to do is rinse your mouth with warm water, preferably salt water if possible. Gently apply gauze to the tooth to soak up any blood, and avoid running your tongue across the edge of the tooth. Then, it’s time to call your dentist for an emergency appointment. In the meantime, you can hold an ice pack to your lips or cheek over the tooth to help relieve pain and keep the swelling down.

You Lose a Tooth

Your dentist may be able to reattach the tooth if you follow the right steps. First, you’ll need to pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root) and rinse it with milk. If you can, try to push the tooth back into its socket. If not, put the tooth in a container of milk or coconut water, and see your dentist immediately.
