Common Emergency Guidance

Toothache

When experiencing Toothache, you should first, thoroughly rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any lodged food. Follow up by applying a cold compress to the outside of your mouth or cheek if your mouth is swollen. Never put aspirin or any other painkiller against the gums near the aching tooth because it may burn the gum tissue.

Chipped or broken teeth

First, attempt to save any pieces of the tooth that you can and rinse your mouth with warm water together with any broken pieces. If there’s bleeding, apply a piece of gauze to the area until the bleeding stops this can take around 10 minutes. Apply a cold compress to the outside of the mouth, cheek, or lip near the broken/chipped tooth to keep any swelling down and relieve pain.

Extruded (partially dislodged) tooth

Contact us immediately on 0121 770 3424 Until you can get to the Practice, to relieve pain, apply a cold compress to the outside of the mouth or cheek in the affected area or take over-the-counter pain relief if needed.

Lost fillings or crowns

If you lose a crown, make an appointment to see us as soon as possible making sure to bring the crown with you. If you are unable to get to us right away and the tooth is causing pain, use a cotton swab to apply a small amount of clove oil to the sensitive area (clove oil can be purchased at your local chemist or in the spice aisle of your supermarket). As a temporary measure you can also stick a piece of sugarless gum into the cavity (sugar-filled gum will cause pain) or use an over-the-counter dental cement.

If possible, slip the crown back over the tooth. Before doing so, coat the inner surface with an over-the-counter dental cement, toothpaste, or denture adhesive, to help hold the crown in place. Do not use super glue!

Abscess

Abscesses are infections that occur between the teeth and gums or around the root of a tooth. Abscesses are a very serious condition that can cause damage to your tissue and surrounding teeth. The infection can even spread to other parts of the body if left untreated.

Because of the serious oral health and general health problems that can result from an abscess, please contact us as soon as possible if you discover a pimple-like swelling on your gum that is usually painful.

In order to ease the pain and draw the pus toward the surface, try rinsing your mouth with a mild saltwater solution (1/2 teaspoon of table salt in 8 ounces of water) several times a day.
