A dental emergency is a potentially life-threatening condition requiring immediate attention to reduce severe pain, stop bleeding, or prevent infection. While dental care emergencies are more common than you might think, not every single dental problem should be considered an emergency. It is important to know when to call a dentist or go directly to their office in order to receive the best emergency dental care.

You may be able to relieve your discomfort or protect a damaged tooth with the following tips:
Use warm water to rinse your mouth. Cold compresses can help relieve swelling, as can painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Fill the cavity with a temporary filling or sugar-free gum.
Use dental cement or sugar-free gum for temporary placement, but don’t use superglue if the crown is still intact.
As with a lost filling, if your crown is broken, keep all the pieces and cover the cavity.
The swollen area can be applied with a piece of gauze. If you are experiencing pain, avoid eating until the swelling is reduced. Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
Be careful not to scrub or remove any small bits of tissue when rinsing the tooth by the crown (the part that usually shows in your mouth).
Put the tooth back in place, ensuring it is the right way around. If this is impossible, place it in milk (or salty water).
It is important to consult us if you find a painful spot-like swelling on your gum. These infections, which occur near the tooth root or in the space between the teeth and gums, can cause severe damage if left untreated. Until then, rinse your mouth with warm salty water several times a day and head straight to the A&E (Accident & Emergency) if you experience severe pain, swelling, or flu-like symptoms.
