Emergency dental advice
If you have suffered an unexpected injury that affects your teeth it is advised that a dentist is sought immediately and that any initial swelling, especially in cases with high trauma or tooth loss, is dealt with using ice packs. In cases where cuts have caused bleeding, it is always best to try and stop the bleeding using pressure and clean the wound as best as possible before visiting a doctor.
Toothache
Rub oil of clove around the gum next to the tooth that is hurting. A cold compress (ice pack) over the area may help or you can take ibuprofen (Nurofen) 400 mg three times a day if you are over 18 and have no history of allergies, asthma or kidney disease. Otherwise two 500mg paracetamol tablets three times a day will help. Bear in mind they should be taken regularly and will take about an hour to take effect. Pain control is better if you take tablets before the pain returns. Avoid hot/cold/sweet foods. Then book to see your dentist. If you feel unwell, have a temperature or the gum starts to swell call your emergency dentist in Stockport immediately.
Loose filling
Work out which tooth the filling came from, looking in the mirror helps. Chew some sugar-free chewing gum. Dry the tooth with tissue/cotton wool and then break off a corresponding amount of chewing gum and place it in the cavity and bite together and grind side to side until the bite feels right. Again be careful not to eat on the tooth.
Loose crown
If it is in one piece clean the inside of the crown with tissue/cotton wool. Then work out which tooth it came off and looking in the mirror replace it. Once you have worked out which way it fits check that your teeth bite together as they did before. Take your crown off again remembering its position. Get some sugar-free chewing gum and start chewing and then break a small piece off (half the size of a pea). Place this inside the crown and replace it in the same place as before. Then bite down to check it is fully seated. This temporary measure should get you through your day and book to see your dentist. Try to be careful with sticky foods and try not to eat directly on the tooth.
