Common Dental Emergencies and What to Do
Severe Toothache
If a toothache interferes with sleep or daily activities, it should be assessed by a dentist.
While waiting for your appointment you may:
- Rinse with warm salt water
- Use dental floss to remove trapped food
- Take over-the-counter pain relief if suitable
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
Persistent toothache often indicates infection or decay and requires professional treatment.
Knocked-out tooth (adult tooth)
A knocked-out tooth can sometimes be saved if treated quickly.
What to do:
- Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root)
- Rinse briefly with cold water if dirty
- Try to place it back into the socket if possible
- If not possible, store the tooth in milk
Contact our dental practice immediately and attend as soon as possible.
If you have suffered a head injury or severe bleeding, seek urgent medical help.
Broken or chipped tooth
Teeth can break due to trauma, hard foods, or decay.
What to do:
- Rinse with warm water
- Keep any broken tooth fragments
- Apply pressure if bleeding occurs
- Use a cold compress for swelling
A dental examination is important even for small fractures.
Lost filling or crown
A lost filling or crown can leave a tooth sensitive and vulnerable.
Temporary measures:
- Use temporary filling material from a pharmacy
- Avoid chewing on the affected side
- If you still have the crown, you may temporarily place it with toothpaste or denture adhesive
Do not use glue or superglue.
Contact our dental team to arrange an appointment.
Dental Abscess or Swelling
A dental abscess is a serious infection and may cause:
- Severe pain
- Swelling of the face or jaw
- Fever
- Difficulty swallowing
Temporary relief measures include warm saltwater rinses and pain relief.
If swelling spreads rapidly or affects breathing, seek urgent medical care.
Uncontrolled Bleeding
If bleeding continues after 10–15 minutes of firm pressure, urgent dental or medical attention is required.
Apply pressure using clean gauze or cloth and contact our dental practice immediately.

- Maintain good oral hygiene
- Avoid using teeth to open packaging
- Wear mouthguards for contact sports
- Seek dental advice early for pain or sensitivity
