What To Do in a Dental Emergency
Toothache or Swelling
- Rinse with warm salt water.
- Take pain relief (e.g. paracetamol).
- Call us immediately - pain could be a sign of infection.
Knocked-Out Tooth
- Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root.
- Rinse gently with milk or saliva (not water).
- If possible, reinsert the tooth into the socket.
- If not, store it in milk or under the tongue.
- Time is critical - see us within 30 minutes.
Broken or Lost Filling/Crown 
- Avoid chewing on that side.
- Keep the area clean.
- Book an emergency visit to avoid further damage.
