If you have a dental emergency call Global Dental Care at + 91 22 23643344 / + 91

Here are some practical tips for handling dental emergencies. |
|
There are a number of simple precautions you can take to avoid accident and injury
to your teeth. One way to reduce the chances of damage to your teeth, lips, cheek
and tongue is to wear a mouth guard when participating in sports or recreational
activities that may pose a risk. Avoid chewing ice, popcorn kernels and hard candy,
all of which can crack a tooth. Cut tape using scissors rather than your teeth. |
|
Accidents do happen, and knowing what to do when one occurs can mean the difference
between saving and losing a tooth. |
|
Bitten Lip Or Tongue
|
|
Clean the area gently with a cloth and apply cold compresses to reduce any swelling.
If the bleeding doesn't stop, go to a hospital emergency room immediately. |
|
Broken Tooth |
|
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. Use cold compresses on the area
to keep any swelling down. Call Global Dental Care immediately at + 91 22 23643344

immediately. |
|
Knocked Out Tooth |
|
Hold the tooth by the crown and rinse off the root of the tooth in water if it’s
dirty. Do not scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments. If possible, gently
insert and hold the tooth in its socket. If that isn’t possible, put the tooth in
a cup of milk and get to Global Dental Care as quickly as possible. Remember to
bring the tooth with you! |
|
Objects Caught Between Teeth |
|
Try to gently remove the object with dental floss; avoid cutting the gums. Never
use a sharp instrument to remove any object that is stuck between your teeth. If
you can’t dislodge the object using dental floss, contact your dentist. |
|
Toothache |
|
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss or an
inter dental cleaner to ensure that there is no food or other debris caught between
the teeth. Never put aspirin or any other painkiller against the gums near the aching
tooth because it may burn the gum tissue. If the pain persists, contact your dentist. |
