Practical Guidance Before You Are Seen
These simple measures may help protect your tooth and ease symptoms until your appointment:
Toothache Or Swelling
Toothache or swelling: Keep the area clean with gentle brushing. A warm saltwater rinse can help soothe the gum. Avoid direct heat on facial swelling. Over the counter pain relief can be used as directed if safe for you. Do not place aspirin on the gum. If swelling spreads or you feel unwell, seek urgent medical help.
Broken Tooth Or Sharp Edge
Broken tooth or sharp edge: If possible, keep any fragments. You can cover a sharp edge with dental wax or sugar free chewing gum to protect your tongue and cheek. Avoid very hot, very cold or sugary foods and chew on the opposite side.
Lost Filling Or Crown
Lost filling or crown: Keep the area clean and avoid sticky foods. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy may offer short term protection for a lost filling or help reseat a crown if it still fits. Do not use superglue. We will assess the area and advise on a suitable solution at your appointment.
Knocked Out Adult Tooth
Knocked out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, the white part, avoiding the root. If dirty, gently rinse with milk or saline for a few seconds only and do not scrub. If you feel confident and it is an adult tooth, you can try to reinsert it into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If not, keep it moist in milk or saline and contact a dentist promptly. Baby teeth should not be reinserted.
These suggestions are general and may not be right for everyone. If you are unsure, please call for tailored advice before trying anything.
