- Toothache: warm salt-water rinse, painkiller as per the label, avoid very hot, cold or sweet food. Don't put tablets, tobacco or alcohol on the gum.
- Swelling: cold compress outside the cheek, 10 minutes on, 10 off. Don't apply heat.
- Broken tooth: keep any pieces, rinse your mouth, come in the same day.
- Knocked-out adult tooth: hold it by the crown (not the root), rinse briefly if dirty, try to put it back in the socket, or keep it in milk, and come immediately; the first hour matters most. Don't replant baby teeth.
- Bleeding after extraction: bite firmly on clean gauze for 30 minutes. Contact us if it doesn't stop.
