What to do in a dental emergency
Knocked-out Adult Tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root.
If the tooth is clean, gently place it back into the socket and bite on a soft cloth.
If you can’t re-insert it, place it in milk or saline – do not scrub or dry the tooth
Call us immediately on (07) 3367 8947, 8947 and bring the tooth with you.
Severe toothache or swelling
Rinse gently with warm salty water.
Use over-the-counter pain relief as directed (avoid placing tablets directly on the gum).
Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face if there is swelling.
Do not apply heat or sleep on the affected side.
Contact us as soon as possible.
Broken or lost filling / crown
Keep any pieces you can find and bring them to your appointment.
Avoid chewing on the affected tooth.
