Broken, Cracked or Chipped Tooth

1. Using warm water, rinse out your mouth and any broken pieces.
2. For bleeding, apply material such as gauze to the affected area for 10 minutes, or until bleeding subsides.
3.  To keep down swelling, hold a cold compress to the outside of the affected area (mouth, cheek, or lip).
4. Bring any tooth fragments in a wet towel or gauze to the office as soon as possible.

Object Stuck/Caught In-between Teeth

Try to carefully use floss to remove the object if possible. Do not use something metal like a pin to attempt to prod the object- you risk cutting your gums or scratching the tooth. Instead, try using your tongue or dental floss. Be extra careful if you have TMJ or other jaw pain issues.

If this fails, schedule an appointment.

Missing Crown/Filling

Losing a crown or filling is not automatically an emergency, particularly when not caused by an injury. Sometimes it can happen when grinding or biting down on something. However, if the tooth is infected, you should immediately seek dental care.

Some signs of potential tooth infection:

• Severe pain (especially when pain relievers do not help) - could be constant throbbing or present when biting/chewing
• Swelling in face, jaw, lymph nodes, or around the gum area near the crown
• Fever
• Difficulty opening mouth/moving jaw
• Yellow, green, or clear discharge

General Toothache

If you are unsure what is causing your toothache or pain, schedule an appointment. In the meantime, you can try the following for pain management:

• Ice packs – hold against jaw for 20 minutes
• Over the counter pain reliever/anesthetics
• Use one of the following rinses:
  • Hydrogen peroxide – do not swallow, mix with water if not a prepackaged wash.
  • Saltwater – mix ½ teaspoon salt into 8 ounces water. Swish for 30 seconds and then spit.

Follow instructions and keep in mind any interactions with your current medications.
