What should I do for a severe toothache?

Rinse your mouth with warm water. Take painkillers as recommended by the medication instructions. Contact us for further advice.

What should I do if an object is stuck between my teeth?

Gently try to remove the object with dental floss or toothbrushes, avoiding sharp instruments. Use warm salty mouthwashes. If unsuccessful, don't force it – contact us for assistance.

What should I do if I have a dental abscess?

Rinse your mouth with a warm salt water solution to help alleviate discomfort. Take painkillers as recommended by the medication instructions. Seek immediate attention to address the infection and prevent it from spreading.

What should I do for a chipped or broken tooth?

Rinse your mouth and any tooth fragments with warm water. Be careful of sharp edges or corners, which may cause injury to soft tissues. Save any broken pieces and contact us promptly.

What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?

Handle the tooth by the crown (top), avoiding the roots. Rinse the tooth gently with water if it's dirty, but do not scrub. Store it in milk or in the cheek of the mouth (being careful not to swallow it!). Seek immediate dental care within 30 minutes.

What should I do if I lose a filling, crown, or bridge?

Clean the area and use dental cement or sugarless gum to temporarily cover the tooth. Save the crown or filling. Contact us for a prompt appointment to restore the filling or crown or bridge.

What should I do if my braces or wires break?

Cover sharp edges with orthodontic wax or cotton wool ball to prevent irritation. If a wire is stuck in the gum, cheek, or tongue, don't try to remove it yourself; contact us for assistance.

What should I do if I have loose brackets and bands?

Apply orthodontic wax to secure loose parts temporarily. Contact us to schedule a repair appointment to avoid disruptions in your orthodontic treatment.

What should I do for soft-tissue injuries?

Clean the area gently with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and control bleeding. Take painkillers as recommended by the medication instructions, if necessary. If bleeding persists or the injury is severe, contact us or seek medical attention promptly.
