Emergency Dentist Petts Wood

In the event of a dental emergency, it’s essential to take immediate action to mitigate the situation:

1. For a knocked-out tooth, gently rinse it with milk or saliva, place it back in its socket (if possible), or store it in milk and get to our clinic as quickly as possible.
2. Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the affected area.
3. Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
4. If you have severe bleeding, apply gentle pressure with gauze or a clean cloth.
5. Avoid using over-the-counter painkillers directly on the gums, as they may cause damage.
