The sooner you can get in to see your dentist, the more likely it can\nbe successfully replanted. If your tooth is knocked out, pick it up by the\ncrown (the top) to avoid damaging its fragile roots and rinse it off. Be\ncareful not to scrub away any tissue that\u2019s attached to the tooth roots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After, you can place the tooth back in your socket, holding\nit in with your tongue. If this isn\u2019t possible, keep it in a glass of milk or\nwater to keep it moist. The key is to try to see your dentist within the hour\nso they can safely reattach your tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Crack or Chip a Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A crack or chip in your tooth can be painful. It\u2019s important\nto try to find any pieces of your broken tooth. After, rinse your mouth and the\nremnants of your teeth with warm water. If you\u2019re bleeding, you can apply gauze\nwith some pressure for around 10 minutes, and you can use a cold compress on\nthe outside of the affected area to ease swelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Call your dentist right away if you crack or chip your\nteeth. Depending on the severity of your tooth fracture, your dentist will\nprovide the treatment you need to get your smile back to full health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Have a Toothache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a toothache, try flossing around the area first.\nSometimes, it\u2019s as easy as removing a pesky piece of food. If pain persists,\navoid chewing on the sensitive side and eating extremely hot or cold foods. You\ncan also take over-the-counter pain medication to cope with the discomfort. If\nyou\u2019re still in pain after a few days, contact your dentist to get the\ntreatment you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Lose a Crown or Filling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you lose a crown or filling, your best bet is to find a\nway to cover the affected area to protect yourself from pain and damage. You\ncan use dental cement found at your local drugstore, or you can even use\nsugar-free gum to stick on top of the decayed area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know how to handle some of the most common\ntypes of dental disaster, you can be ready if you or any of your loved ones\nhave a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familydentistcarrollton.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental\nemergency<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A graduate of the NYU College of Dentistry, Dr. Moji Chandy\nis a highly-trained dentist who has a passion for caring for her patients.
