If you’re having a toothache, rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to dislodge any food particles. You can also use an ice pack and press this against the area, which aches. Never ever, put any pain killer in your mouth, near the painful area as it might burn the gum tissue. If there is too much bleeding, apply a dental gauze to soak the blood. If it’s a knocked out tooth, save the tooth. Do not throw it away. Knocked out tooth have the highest chances of being lodged back into the socket. Rinse the tooth if it’s dirty and do not scrub or brush the tooth as this will remove the gum tissue from the surface.

If there is a half dislodged teeth, you have to visit our dentist immediately as this can only be resolved by the doctor. If you feel any pain or discomfort due to some food in between your teeth, try using dental floss to clean it. Never ever, use any sharp object like pins to remove the food, as this might lead to gum tissue damage. If there are cases of lost crown or lost filling, then put a sugarless gum in between the open area till you reach a dentist. If it’s broken braces that poke you everywhere in the mouth, try to use a piece of rubber to put it in a more comfortable place. If you’re not able to press it, then cover the poking end with a cotton ball or gauze.

These are some simple remedies and steps that you can follow at home in case of any dental emergency. It will save you a lot of unwanted discomfort till you get to your dentist’s clinic and also ensure proper care to the injured area.
