What to do now
Toothache
Take the painkiller you normally use, as the pack says. Do not put aspirin on the gum. Call us in the morning.
A knocked-out adult tooth
Hold it by the white top, not the root. Rinse it in milk, put it back in or keep it in milk, and come in within the hour.
A broken tooth or filling
Keep any pieces. Cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum and avoid chewing on that side.
Swelling in the face
Swelling that spreads to the eye or the neck, or makes it hard to swallow or breathe: call 911.
Evenings, weekends and holidays
Call the practice number. The message gives the on-call dentist’s number for registered patients (sample).
Call 911
Swelling that spreads to the eye or neck, trouble swallowing or breathing, heavy bleeding that will not stop, or a jaw injury.
On-call dentist
Severe pain that painkillers do not help, a knocked-out adult tooth.
Next morning
A lost filling or crown, a chipped tooth, a loose denture.
