Dental emergencies can include problems like:
- Breaking a tooth or teeth
- Experiencing trauma to your mouth, jaws, or face
- Untreated severe tooth decay which is causing severe pain
- Jaw swelling from a dental abscess or impacted wisdom tooth
It’s a good idea to have a dental emergency kit in your house or your car. It’s just like a first aid kit and it should contain:
- Your dentist’s contact information, including after-hours and on weekends
- Sterile gauze
- Sterile saline solution for rinsing
- Over-the-counter medication like Tylenol
- Reusable cold packs
If you or someone you know suffers a dental emergency, there are a few basic steps to make things a little easier until you can get in to see the dentist.
Remember to:
- Clean away any dirt, debris, or blood from the injured area, using sterile gauze and sterile saline solution.
- Using gentle pressure, apply sterile gauze to the area to stop the bleeding.
- Place a cold pack on the area to minimize swelling.
- Call your dentist for an appointment as soon as possible.
