How to handle a dental injury:

• Toothache
  Floss your teeth before rinsing your mouth with warm water to wash away debris. Hold a cold compress to your cheek to decrease swelling. Do not apply a gel painkiller as it will burn. Your dentist will determine the cause of your toothache and treat it accordingly.
• Chipped or fractured tooth
  For chipped or fractured tooth remove any debris by rinsing your mouth with warm water. Use a cold compress to soothe pain. Take anti-inflammatory medication if needed, but do not use aspirin or gel.
  
  In most cases, the tooth can be repaired with a white filling or by reattaching the chipped piece if you still have it. Large fractures may require a dental crown to restore the tooth.
• Loose or dislodged tooth
  If you can, move the tooth back into its socket. Gently bite down to keep it in place. Over-the-counter medication and a cold compress can ease pain and swelling.
• Knocked-out tooth
  Saving a knocked-out tooth depends getting on fast treatment from your emergency dentist.
• Pick up the tooth without touching the root
• If the tooth is dirty, rinse it under water
• Leave tissue fragments intact and do not scrape the tooth
• Gently fit the tooth back in the socket, or place it in a cup of salt water
• Take your tooth with you to your emergency appointment
