Dental Emergencies During the FestiveSeason: What to Do and When to Call aDentist

Festival days mean good food, long gatherings, and clinics that may have reduced hours. Toothache or a broken tooth can strike at the worst possible time. Knowing what to do can ease the pain and give your tooth a better chance of being saved. Toothache • Rinse your mouth with warm salt water. • Gently floss to remove any food stuck between teeth. • Apply a cold compress on the outside of the cheek. • You can take a pain reliever as directed on the label or by your doctor. Do not place tablets directly on the gum or tooth, as this can burn the tissue. • Book a dental visit even if the pain settles, because the cause is still there. Broken or chipped tooth

• Rinse your mouth gently with warm water.

• Keep any broken pieces in a clean container with milk or water.

• Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.

• See a dentist soon, as sharp edges can cut the tongue and the tooth may need protection.

Knocked-out permanent tooth (act fast)

1. Hold the tooth by the crown (the white part), not the root.

2. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly with milk or clean water. Do not scrub it or remove tissue attached to it.

3. If possible, gently place it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth to hold it in place.

4. If you cannot put it back, keep it in a small container of milk and not in plain water.

5. Go to a dentist immediately, ideally within the first hour. Do not try to put back a knocked-out baby tooth.

Lost filling or crown Keep the crown or filling safe and bring it with you. Avoid chewing on that side. Your dentist can often fix it quickly. Go to the dentist or hospital urgently if you have

• Swelling of the face or jaw

• Fever along with a toothache

• Difficulty swallowing or breathing

• Bleeding that does not stop

Avoid emergencies in the first place

• Do not use your teeth to open bottles, packets or crackers.

• Be careful with hard nuts, brittle and ice.

• Visit your dentist for a check-up before the festive season so that loose fillings, deep cavities or cracked teeth are treated in advance.

• Check your clinic's festival timings and save its number on your phone.
