What To Do Right Now
02
02Knocked-Out Adult Tooth
If a tooth has been knocked out, hold it by the crown, the white part, not the root. If dirty, rinse briefly with milk or saline. If you can, gently place it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If you cannot reinsert it, keep it in milk or in your cheek, not for young children, and bring it to your appointment.
03
03Bleeding
For bleeding, apply gentle but firm pressure with a clean cloth or gauze.
04
04Swelling
For pain or swelling, a cold compress on the outside of your face may help. Avoid applying heat.
05
05Pain Relief
You may take over-the-counter pain relief if suitable for you and in line with the instructions on the packet. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum or tooth.
06
06Keep The Area Clean
Keep the area as clean as you can. If advised by a clinician, a warm saltwater rinse can help keep the mouth fresh, not recommended for children unless specifically advised.
If you are unsure what to do, a quick call can make things clearer.

How We Approach Your Emergency Appointment

Immediate care may include smoothing sharp edges, placing a temporary dressing, re-bonding or securing a loose restoration, or other stabilising steps based on your assessment.
