In the event of a dental emergency, it is important to remain calm and take steps to reduce any pain or discomfort. If you are suffering from severe pain, you can take over the counter pain relief medication such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. It is also important to keep the area clean and free from infection. This can be done by gently rinsing the area with warm salt water, or using an antiseptic mouthwash.
​
If you have a broken or knocked out tooth, it is important to try and place the tooth back in its socket. If this is not possible, the tooth should be placed in a container of milk or saliva and taken to your dentist as soon as possible.
