Simple Self-Care Guidance Before You’re Seen

An examination is important, but the following general measures may help you stay comfortable before your appointment:

If you are unsure about anything, our team can offer advice based on your symptoms until you can be seen.

For pain: take over the counter pain relief you know is safe for you, following the packet instructions. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum or tooth.
For swelling: a cold compress on the outside of the cheek may help reduce discomfort.
For a knocked out adult tooth: if possible, pick it up by the crown, gently rinse with milk or saline if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If that is not possible, keep it moist in milk or saline and contact us urgently. Do not attempt this with a baby tooth.
For a broken tooth with sharp edges: you can cover the area with dental wax or sugar free chewing gum to protect your tongue and cheeks.
Keep the area as clean as you can with gentle brushing and a saltwater rinse if appropriate for you.
