Regardless of the type of dental problem, we have you covered.
Immediate Actions For Toothache
Thoroughly rinse your mouth with water
Use dental floss to remove any particles that may be lodged between your teeth
Apply a cold compress to the outside of the cheek where there is pain
For A Knocked-Out Crown
Retrieve the tooth, holding it by the crown (the part that’s exposed in the mouth) rinse the tooth off under running water if it is dirty.
Don’t scrub it or remove any tissue that may be attached.
Try to put the tooth back in place, making sure it’s facing the right way.
Don’t force it, if that’s not possible put it in a container with milk or one with water and a bit of salt if milk it’s available.
