Short answer
For severe pain, an injury, or a broken or knocked-out tooth, call Confidental Studio’s emergency line: (829) 531-4447. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, keep it moist, preferably in milk, and get care within 30 minutes. If there is spreading swelling, fever, or trouble breathing or swallowing, go to the emergency room.
Knocked-out tooth
- Hold it by the crown without touching the root.
- If it’s dirty, rinse it briefly without rubbing.
- If you can, put it back in its socket.
- If not, keep it in milk or next to your cheek. Do not use tap water.
- For children, do not put a baby tooth back in: call us.
Toothache
Rinse with warm water and use floss to remove any trapped food. Do not put aspirin on your gums. If the pain continues, you need an exam.
Broken tooth
Rinse with warm water, save the fragment if you can find it, and apply cold to the outside of your face to reduce swelling.
How it works
- Call us and describe what happened.
- Follow the instructions while you’re on your way.
- Bring the tooth or fragment if you have it.
Frequently asked questions
When should I go to the ER instead of the dentist?
If you have swelling spreading across your face or neck, a high fever, trouble breathing or swallowing, or a hard blow to the head. These are signs of a medical emergency.
