If you need emergency dentistry, contact Pastel Dental without delay for an urgent appointment. There are also first aid measures you can employ when you have a serious dental problem:
Dislodged teeth
If you knock a tooth out, return it to the socket if at all possible, or place it between your cheek and gums. Alternatively, put the tooth in some milk. Doing one of these as quickly as you can helps keep it alive and gives the Pastel Dental team the best chance of saving the tooth.
Cracked tooth
If you damage your tooth, rinse inside your mouth with clean, warm water to keep bacteria from entering the crack. You can also apply cold compresses to keep the swelling under control.
Severe toothache
If you have a toothache, you could rinse your mouth out using warm water and floss gently to remove any food particles. A bad toothache is well-known for being especially painful and can radiate into your head, jaw, and neck, sometimes reaching an unbearable level. Over-the-counter pain medications can help, but don’t put anything containing aspirin onto the tooth before your emergency dentistry appointment.
