Here are a few tips to provide temporary help:

  • Bitten lip or tongue: Gently cleanse the area with a clean cloth. Apply a cold compress to control swelling. Go to a hospital or emergency room if bleeding does not stop.
  • Broken or cracked tooth: Clean the area by rinsing your mouth with warm water. Apply cold compresses on the area to minimize swelling and call your dentist immediately
  • Possibly broken jaw: Apply cold compresses to control swelling. Go to your dentist or a hospital emergency department immediately.
  • Tooth knocked-out: Hold the knocked-out tooth by its crown. If it is dirty, rinse the root of the tooth in water. Don’t scrub it or touch any attached fragments of tissue. If you can, gently insert the tooth back in its socket and hold it there. If that is not possible, place the tooth in a cup of milk and bring it to the dentist quickly.
  • Objects stuck between teeth: Gently attempt to remove it with dental floss, but be cautious around the gums to avoid cuts. DO NOT use any sharp instruments to remove the object. If using dental floss is not successful, call your dentist.
