If you are experiencing a dental emergency here are some tips:
If you are experiencing throbbing pain ease the pain with over the counter medication such as Tylenol or Advil.
Hold an ice pack against your face or on the sore tooth.
Never use heat because heat will intensify the pain.
Never ignore tooth pain because it may lead to more serious problems if not handled right away.
If your tooth is knocked out place the tooth in distilled water contact solution or milk to preserve the tissue surrounding the root.
If tooth is knocked out you need to get to dentist immediately so that it can be replanted if possible.
