Emergency & First Aid Tips
While you are on your way to our Macleod clinic, follow these essential steps to handle your dental injury:
| Emergency Scenario | What You Should Do Immediately |
| Knocked-Out Permanent Tooth | Handle the tooth only by the crown (top part), not the root. Gently rinse it with milk or water if dirty. Try to place it back into its socket. If that isn't possible, keep it moist by storing it in a small container of milk or inside your cheek, and get to us immediately. |
| Severe Toothache or Swelling | Rinse your mouth thoroughly with warm saltwater. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to manage swelling. |
| Fractured or Broken Tooth | Save any broken fragments if possible. Rinse your mouth with warm water to clear debris. |
| Lost Filling or Crown | Keep the area clean. If you have the crown, keep it safe and bring it to your appointment. |
