Emergencies
toothache
Clean the area around the sore tooth thoroughly. Rinse the mouth vigorously with warm saltwater to dislodge
trapped food or debris. DO NOT place aspirin on the gum or on the aching tooth. If face is swollen, apply a
cold compress. Take acetaminophen for pain and see a dentist as soon as possible
Cut or Bitten Tongue, Lip or Cheek
Apply ice to bruised areas. If there is bleeding, apply firm but gentle pressure with a clean gauze or cloth. If
bleeding does not stop after 15 minutes or it cannot be controlled by simple pressure, take the child to a
hospital emergency room.
Broken Braces and Wires
If a broken appliance can be removed easily, take it out. If it cannot, cover the sharp or protruding portion with
cotton balls, gauze or chewing gum. If a wire is stuck in the gums, cheek or tongue, DO NOT remove it. Take
the child to a dentist immediately. Loose or broken appliances which do not bother the child do not usually
require emergency attention.
Broken Tooth
Rinse dirt from injured area with warm water. Place a cold compress over the face in the area of the injury.
Locate and save any broken tooth fragments. Immediate dental attention is necessary.
Knocked Out Permanent Tooth
Find the tooth. Handle the tooth by the top (crown), not the root portion. You may rinse the tooth but DO NOT
clean or handle the tooth unnecessarily. Try to reinsert the tooth in its socket. Have the child hold the tooth in
place by biting on a clean gauze or cloth. If you cannot reinsert the tooth, transport the tooth in a cup
containing milk or water. See a dentist IMMEDIATELY! Time is a critical factor in saving the tooth.
Other Emergencies:
Possible Broken Jaw: If a fractured jaw is suspected, try to keep the jaws from moving by using a towel, tie or
handkerchief. Take the child to the nearest hospital emergency room.
Bleeding After Baby Tooth Falls Out: Fold and pack a clean gauze or cloth over the bleeding area. Have the
child bite on the gauze for 15 minutes. This may be repeated once; if bleeding persists, see a dentist.
Cold / Canker Sores: Many children occasionally suffer from cold or canker sores. Usually over-the-counter
preparations give some relief. Because some serious diseases may begin as sores, it is important to have a
dental evaluation if these sores persist.
